You could put the wheel on and on the groud then break it. Also yea I'd say either the brakes need to be bled or your friend is a *****.

This is the way I always got my axle nuts off without the need of anyone's help. You need to put a beefy screwdriver in one of the slots of the rotor then spin it until it locks on the caliper stopping it from spinning and enabling you to remove the axle nut.

put it on the ground!!! If you break the breaker bar, get a 24" pipe wrench gride off the sides of the socket just so the pipe wrench has someting to grab onto and put a bar on it for leverage. If that dont work your fucked!!!
