Heh, 'member'
Give me a long enough lever and I'll move the world.
19mm 1/2 impact socket, 1/2 breaking bar, 3 feet of 2'' case pipe. Those lug nuts won't stand a chance and you won't even have to work all that hard. Still having trouble? Get a longer pipe.

On of my favourite tools is a bent lacrosse stick shaft. It's come in very handy for stuck bolts like this. Just slide it on the end of the breaker bar. You would be suprised what a little leverage will do.
The lacrosse stick also makes a great pry bar. My shed started to settle once in one corner so I used the stick to pry it up and level off the shed. Great tool. Should be in everyones tool box haha

I had one seize up on me, too. Broke sockets trying to get it off. Took it to Les Schwabs and they couldn't get it off either, even with their heavy duty breaker bars. Ended up drilling the nut off and replacing the stud.

The big thing, make sure to do your rotations, don't leave them on forever. Little but of anti-seize, if you don't have any a little grease on the threads.
Tuna, I have s Snap-on 3/4 drive I used on the lugnuts on my semi, no problems. Lol

Never put any anti seize, or oil/grease on stud....or do it if you like to loose lug nut and maybe wheel.
a cross bar is the best: you can push with your feet and conteract by pulling the toher side: that's way: no stress on the stud and less risk of breaking them.
if it's not working: a long breaker bar...and be sure to have replacement stud..lol

I have put anti seize on the studs with out problems. Used a torque wrench and tightened them to the torque spec. Checked them a couple of times after driving and did not have any of them turn when I re torqued them.

I've done the grease for at least 16 years, my dads done it forever. If you properly torque them back down you won't have a problem. That's why people can't get them off some dummy uses his impact to run them down and over torque them.

I swear this thing could reverse the rotation of the Earth. Never been stopped yet, but I wouldn't expect anything less from Ingersoll Rand and 750ft/lb torque
