removing wheels

I do not have impact gun and I just have OEM wrench for wheel. Do I need to use jack to get off the nuts and to put them back? I am afraid while im driving, the wheels might fall off...;;; help me how to remove wheels..

wow... you should not be allowed to drive.

1. loosen nuts WITH WRENCH - provided your taking off OEM wheels with OEM nuts
2. jack up whichever corner you're taking the wheel off with OEM JACK
3. finish taking off wheel (loosening the nuts to point they fall out
4. do whatever you're doing.
5. do step 3 in reverse
6. do step 2 in reverse
7. do step 1 in reverse
8. after driving 50-100 miles RE TIGHTEN WHEEL NUTS

the lug nuts wouldnt come off on mine either.....buy a nice long breaker bar and your good to go. mines 25" and a girl could take off the lugs with one hand with it.

I even put my weight on the OEM wrench and could not get them...I really hope that I could take them easily with the breaker bar...

breaker bar makes it easy especially if you get a good sized one.

Do you have a 1/2 inch diameter pipe that is 18 inches or greater in length? If yes, slide the pipe over the OEM wrench and use the pipe as a breaker bar.
