you will also need a deeper than standard socket

And a big ass breaker to crack it off!

And do it with the wheel on and the car on the ground with blocks under the wheels

It may just be my crappy handbrake at the time but the torque needed to loosen the nut was greater than the handbrake could stop

They're meant to be torqued to 218ft/lb, so I would think that is easily enough to overcome some handbrakes.
