cant get the lug nuts off. they are tight as crap. ive tried wd40, loosening it on and off jacks, mallets, screaming lots of cuss words at it hoping it would loosen by itself. any suggestions?

If you have a floor jack use that in combination with a breaker bar (jack up the end of the breaker bar)... I need an impact wrnech

I also just use my normal socket wrench and just stand on the handle, so far no lug has been able to support my weight without loosening. But I'm fat, so it's easier that way. If you have to just hold onto the car, put one foot on then kind of hop and lift yourself onto the wrench. Lot easier than traying to do it by hand, I did them a lot by hand for a day and my back killed the next day. Leaning over blows.

same way i do it

just make sure if you have a hatch that its closed, my dad once closed his finger in my hatch when he was standing on a wrench and stuck his hand in the open hatch, and because it was right near the top when it fell had a ton of the weight of the trunk on it...its a miracle it didnt crush his finger
