try a squirt of degreaser on it or something similar to help loosen the nut.

although it might be you arent using enough muscle

yewah anything to just help the nut off.

if you find youre putting TOO much pressure and it wont come off (as like.. stomping on the bar and it stilld ont come off, take it to the local tyre shop and ask them to do it for ya, theyll probably take it off, put the new one on for free, or for like $5.

Just take it to a local shop! I can 'never' take my lugs off at home, i've got the 4 size wrench and it seems easy for others. I am either too under-muscled or afraid to pull another hearnia...

Get a 3' section of pipe to fit over your wrench handle. Those bitches will pop right off. Or get yourself a 4-way lug wrench. They work much better.
