Removing shimano cassette problems

With me wanting to service the hubs on my bike last night i set at removing the Shimano cassette. Chainwhip on, tool with pin inserted in place and on goes the 1'2" wrench for this.
Try as I might, there was no way in hell that the lockring was gonna budge without causing damage somewhere i dont think.
the bike is a std Spesh FSR XC comp and only 9 months old so should i really be having such issues?
My mate who is stronger than me had a go and even he said he didnt wanna put too much force in as he'd break it. The lock ring says on it Lock -> 40nm which i understand perfectly but surely whoever put it together didnt.
What else can i do about it? Help desperately wanted!!!

If you really are worried you about breakage take it down your LBS they will whip it off for u.
Must be over 40Nm
Good luck
That is exactly how i was doin it aswell, prob more 10 + 2 oclock but same method. I thought use my weight on top to make it easier but it just wouldnt budge.
