Frozen lug nuts

Nice forum, first time user

I own a 71 superbeetle (never would have guessed it) and i cannot get the rear driver side tire off the car. the lug nuts are very stuck. I tried penetrating oil and a impact hammer but no good. They are really stuck. I thought about heat from a torch but i am not that brave yet. What do you all think?

Setting the car on fire and collecting the insurance is not an option....HELP!!!!!

stick a pipe over one end of your wrench to make an extra long lever.

The torch is the best option if the "long wrench" didn't work and you haven't broken the lug bolts. A little heat applied works wonders!
