Yes that should be enough torque but if the battery is not full you 
might not get all the nuts off. I think Millwalke makes a 12volt 
model that clips onto the truck battery so you would not have to 
worry about charging batteries. Something to remember is most 3horse 
and bigger trailers have brakes on both axels so you could have 
someone activate the trailer brakes by hand with the slider or tape 
it on max and that might hold the wheel. US RIDER sounds pretty good too.
