Rocketeer - Turning them the correct way hasn't worked either. I've been using PBlaster couple times �a week for several weeks straight and on and off for months and still nothing. I don't have a torch, so I think I'm at the point where I'll use a big ratchet and torque them around. If they come loose, great...if I the bolts gives way, then I'll rationalize that it was bad and needed replacement. There's already a few sheered bolts so I'm heading down that road.
Penetrating oil and time may get them off but if you need them off now you will have to get them red with a torch and use an impact wrench on them. Some may twist off but it may be best to replace all of them anyway.
You do know that they turn in two different directions? Look for a letter stamped into the lug nut. R=right, L=left. Turn the opposite to loosen. Usually the left hand threads are on the drivers side but if somebody accidently switched hubs sometime in the past they could be anywhere. That's why it's best to look for the stamping.
I've been trying to get the wheels off so I can access the brakes and can't get the lug nuts to budge. I've been hitting them with PBlaster and another penetrate for a few weeks, tapping with a hammer and heating them with a propane touch. Used ratchets, wrenches and pneumatic wrench.

Are other any other tricks I should try? get a bigger hammer? wave a chicken over my head while hopping on one leg?
