Also had problems the first time I removed mine. It took two of us in the 
end. One to hold the bike and stand on the back brake and the other to 
swear like mad while jumping up and down on the ratchet. In the end we won. 
When I torqued it up to 146nm it was easy to undo so maybe the factory use 
a little more effort before despatch to ensure the wheel doesn't get lost 
in transit.;-)
