hmm interesting.. is the lock fully inserted? if it is, it should lock into the lock pattern. Then you can turn and take them off. If that isn't the problem, then my other guess would be the studs are loose somehow, so might have to get it replaced at a tire shop.

jack up the car, place it safely.
step on the brake one time hard enough so it pumps and do it again, but on the 2nd time, HOLD it down hard too.

while the person is holdin the brake down... then start untightning*

but make sure ur car is jack! safety first...

this MIGHT work but no promises


let me know if it does

hmmm, having it on the ground prevents you from actually having to put your foot on the brake....

what would keep spinning the wheel? HOW? If it's on the ground, there's no reason why it should spin....u must be strong.
