big pipe wrench just use a rag so the teeth dont chew up the nut to bad and your going to need snap ring pilers.

I got a 24" adjustable wrench for 19$ a couple years ago and it works perfectly fine, I believe an 18" will also fit but not sure. It's always handy to have a few big adjustables around, their cheap and once you get to nuts/bolts that big you shouldn't be hurting them using an adjustable (rounding them off). But I wouldn't use a pipe wrench, it'll make your stuff start too look really ugly, I did my first time with a pipe wrench and regret every minute of it...

I bought a 2 wrench set (45mm + 56mm) for $20.00. The are made specifically to fit the stock axle and brake rotor lock nuts and can be used with 1/2 and 3/4 drive tools.
