Just takes a bigger lug wrench, that's all.

My motorhome lug nuts are supposed to be torqued to something like 200 ft
lb, and I can take them off on the side of the road even though my 1/2" air
impact wrench won't budge them.  Of course, my 'lug wrench' is a Craftsman
breaker bar with about 6 feet of pipe on it ... <g>
