Exactly, take the wheel off. It is so much easier that way. Also, add some type of spray lubricant to the top of the springs and at the bottom. Let the lube sit for about an hour and then re-apply.

I used a 5lb sledge to help turn the spanner wrench at first and then was able to spin it using my hands (and the spanner wrench, of course). Have fun!
