		Impact gun 
Or get a fat person to sit on the wing with the wheel on the ground.

		Why do you need the hub not off to change the brakes?
 
 Anyway car on the ground, chock all 4 wheels, handbrake on, in gear and a very long breaker bar (or extend it with a scaffold pole.)

		Also to agree with Dum. Don't see how the wheel could spin that far of it was in gear and on the ground.

		Find old or spare wheel. Steel one. Bolt to hub best you can. Let the car down onto it. Handbrake on and undo it. Job jobbed
	 
On a break from 306oc for personal reasons. If anyone needs or wants me most of you have my number and or facebook messengerThanks for the good times guys n gals. I might be back. Who knows.

		Haha, no I wasn't...but its funny how the same sentence can be perceived differently.    
Tbh I bought a fairly cheap mains powered impact gun about 3 years ago, one of my best purchases tbh!

I can't believe your gun does hub nuts, 90% of the time mine won't touch them.
