Yup, excellent point about the socket; the cheap ones have double the number of faces and are prone to stripping the sides of the nut; use a good quality one with faces that fit exactly and you will be fine.

Basically a 5ft length of bar over the solid bar and a rag jammed into the chain sprocket area. Continuous and firm pressure broke the seal, no jerking because it will bounce the bike
Make sure the socket only has enough faces to fit over the nut. This will prevent it stripping or burring the nut
