try and clamp the drums, or find a way of pulling the handbrake cable to lock the brakes...

wont be easy though

Large breaker bar and 17mm socket and two weetabix for breakfast!
Or nip it down to kwick fit or similar and get them to remove with airgun.

I would go with the breaker bar and weetabix idea. You may want to get a couple friends (if you have some), feed them some weetabix and get them to hold on to the wheel.

Get someone stand on the beam.
Then you undo them?

simply sit on top of a wheel & undo it. If that doesn't work, wheel it up to your house wall and then sit on it & undo it. the tyre friction & your body weight (not that I would know what that is) should be enough

how about jacking the car up & slide the axle back under & lower the car onto the wheels just enough to stop them turning....

Right i managed to find a way to get them off when the wheels are off the ground. Get a breaker bar and then slowly rotate it clockwise then suddenly flick it anticlockwise. Much easier than trying to clamp things, jump on things.
