Message	Extend the tire iron, socket...or whatever your using. That will give you more leverage. Then turn left. If you don't have a torque wrench...then get one. You want to make sure you tighten the lug nuts down to spec. It also makes it really easy to get the lug nuts off. Torque wrenches are nice for other repairs too. It's definitely worth your money.
