Sometimes. Maybe. If you're built like a tank...

Actually, removing the cotter pin and heating the nut up with a torch might make 25" a long enough lever, but I would have the "cheater" pipe ready just in case. Also, pounding on the back of the socket with a mallet (hit as if you were trying to drive the stub axle out) can help loosen things up sometimes as long as you are applying force at the same time.
