yeah, socket is much easier, i had to use a 32mm socket and an air wrench to get mine undone the other day, but the 30mm spanner came in very handy when mr sledge hammer showed up!
needless to say they were tight to get off.

A 34" braker bar is what's needed to get the castle nuts off - and possibly somone sitting in the car with the brakes on

stick a 6mm or so spanner between the 2 parts of the caliper through the vents in the disk.

My 30mm socket wasn't deep enough to get hold of a castle nut the other day, so had to take the angle grinder to the end of the shaft and remove about 5mm.
