If the wheel lugs were put on with an Impact Wrench, you may have to take them off with an Impact Wrench. Last fall I bought a 1/2 inch drive impact wrench from Sears (580 Ft.Lbs Max Torque)... JUST to remove my trailer wheels which have been on the trailer for a decade.

With the liberal application of "PB Blaster Penetrating" (From Benny's) over a few days, and the impact wrench, the lugs finally came off. When the wheels go back on I will use "Permatex Anti Seize" compound (From Benny's) on the lug bolt threads and shoulders. There are no "studs & lugnuts" on my EZ Loader trailer.

BTW: 580 Ft.Lbs torque would be the MINIMUM size impact wrench I would buy for this purpose.
