Depending on where it is in the gear reduction and the spool diameter it'll either be completely locked and tough to remove or trivial to remove by hand.
The wrench is right on the spool shaft, and the spool diameter is 1.25''. It's got a nice long handle, and I seriously doubt it will be a problem though we have not tried "wedging" the robot like that yet (we will be current-limiting the climbing motor to prevent that, at any rate).
