Blair, As mentioned the wrench extension works. However, it can exert a lot of sideways force on the lug, perhaps not a good thing. What has always worked for me is positioning the cross wrench on the nut so it is nearly horizontal. Putting a jack or carefully chosen object (size and strength) under one end of the cross wrench, and then standing on the other. Think this through so you that are loosening. The above method only allows torque on the lug. However it is good only through a relatively small arc since the alignment changes as the lug turns. This is not a problem though if you only use the method for breaking the lug loose and exercise reasonable care. Mike Michael A. Radtke - Z74 Voice: 602-862-4897 Bull FAX: 4853 13430 N.
