You have to push in while turning it. There is a special tool for rear brakes you can buy that fits on the end of a 3/8ths rachet that allows you to use more force than doing it with needle-nose pliers.

oh yeah ofcourse i fixed them .. i guess the when the rims were installed the mech had tightend them up way too hard so when i was trying to get the lug nuts offthey were not comeing out so i used my favorite thing when dealing with with the car brute force and they came right off and then i replaced them with new and shiney ones :D
