If you are on the side of the road with a flat and you can't get the nuts off you are farked. However for a guy (and experianced Gals) thats fine because we can usually work around it, uses breaker bars, stand on it, etc... so overall annoying but bearable.

So I made my Girlfriend (fair swithced on mechanically) change 2 of hers so she knows how to do it and so that she knows she can do it by herself. I had to stand on my wrench and extension/pipe to loosen them up, and I am 78KG!

***END RANT***
Next time remember to loosen the nuts before you jack the car up. It will make the whole job a lot easier . . .
