I actually have an 18" wrench but not a 21mm socket. So I used the spare thing. Didn't notice the damage until after I got the wheel off. :/

On a bright note...I got it up on jacks using a forum thread about where to put them!
You'll be busy lol...

You need to torque everything back to spec that you take off, not just wheels. You definitely don't want to mess up doing suspension and spacers. Are you prepared?
