I'm guessing your absolutely not mechanically proven AT ALLLL.... or your just a girl...

A breaker bar is a long handle for a socket wrench that doesn't twist it has a really long handle so you dont have to exert as much force as a regurlar short socket wrench... if you push enough it will eventually unscrew... Put your muscles into it.. or if you are a teenager or somthing.. ask your dad to help you!

 

use force :]

 

yea use a torque wrench and it should come off there is no way to exert enough force with a small ratchet

 

I broke 3 studs with a breaker bar and a 3 ft pipe. Mine were really corroded on there.

 

Are you turning the wrench counter clockwise? I can't imagine why you are having a problem removing the lug bolt. It is only tightened at 80 ft-lbs, unless it is not the one that came with the car and you have different thread pattern.
Let us know what happened.

 

Just make sure when you're trying to losen it that the car is not jacked up... obviously. Be careful when using a breaker bar- a greater moment is applied when your lenthen the lever by a few inches- try not to shear the stud! As for you guys recommending hitting the rim with a hammer to get a stuck wheel off, I had a buddy try that once from under the car and he almost got crushed because the car wasn't situated on the jack properly. Try soaking the **** out of it with PB blast or a similar penetration fluid (watch overspray on brakes...)
