I have Lionel's socket for my wheel nuts with a 750 mm breaker bar. That works well if you loosen them regularly. I find the front passenger side though needs a bit more umph. I use a spanner from P Mulberry that has an angle so it comes out of the wheel well fixed to a length of bar c 2m using exhaust clamps. The bar is a Thule roof rack bar.
Like you I find banging around with a big hammer near the wings daunting.
If you are based in Suffolk you are welcome to borrow it.
