The key I find is to use big heavy sockets and bars. I have both a 1/2" drive and a 3/4" drive socket and powerbar for hubnuts. Often the nut laughs at the 1/2" drive, but the 3/4" drive shifts it with no problem at all.
Even my van, with it's 41mm hum nuts are easy-peasy with a 3/4" drive.

I bought a 3/4 drive socket set from an autojumble for about £30, OK it's cheap tak but it's never failed to shift BX.XM and Xantia hub nuts.
I would have thought you could pick up a long knuckle bar for just a few quid at a motorist discount shop. (buy one with a gaurantee)
Alternatively, you could buy a BX diesel auto and borrow mine at the same time
