you do not need a tq. wrench to remove the wheel. You only need it to install and tighten the bolts.
you should not need a breaker bar at all just to remove the bolts.

Well I was just told by a friend that I can rent a tool from autozone and then return it and get all my money back. Now I just need to find a reliable way to lift the bike.

you can remove the front tire with a bottle jack or scissor jack. Put the jack under the front part of the frame and have the bike on the jiffy stand. That is what I use for the front most of the time.

Found a friend with a jack but it seems like everyone is saying on here that apparently adapters are needed. I'm thinking some blocks of wood possibly could work instead?

sorry but if you need too ask a question like this,,, don't do it its above your skill level, you don't even need one too instal ,many people change wheels and never use a torque wrench, as long as you do them up tight

You should never use a torque wrench to loosen bolts. Good way to screw it up and throw away $.

only one piece 2x1 strapping about 2" long and you place it under the clutch end inorder for the frame to touch the jack when it lifts.
