Question:
I was trying to change a flat and 3 of the 4 lugnuts will not loosen at all. What should I do? I can't drive anywhere to get it fixed because of the flat. Any help please, would be appreciated.

try using a metal pole as a lever.Why won't car manufacturer's create cars with the option to transition into ethanol motors?
get a bit of pipe and put it over the bar , or anything that will act as a leverYour nuts sound like they where drilled on, and they may have some rust on them.I would use oil like WD-40, or similar lubricant
should give you the edge you need to change that flat.

Wet them with plain iodine, it's what we used in the military to remove frozen/rusted nuts.Anyone no how to rewire stuff in Vehicles??
get some diesel or home heating oil and put it on the threads and the back of the nut. its a penatrant an will free up the treads. leave for about 20 mins then either buy a powerbar ( its a long ratchet) put it on the nut and stand on the end. or put some round tubing over your bar and stand on it. trust me on the diesel its very good i once uncresed a motorbike with itI worked at a tire company while in college and we always used an air impact wrench to install lug nuts. When they seat against the rim it usually takes 3 to 4 times the impact to remove them. If you dont have a long handle on your lug wrench use WD-40 or liquid wrench. Spray it liberally around the lug nut at the rim and then lightly tap the lug nuts with a hammer (preferably a rubber one). Then use the hammer to strike the lever your using to loosen the lugs. Once they break the seat against the rim they will be much easier to remove.

1st- WD 402nd - Try the iodine (couldn't hurt)
3rd- Take a small torch and try heating the lug nuts (this makes metal expand and the corrosion would have to move some during this process. Let them cool again and they should have freed up some. Heck wouldn't hurt to try while its hot even.
Good luck
