   +1 Spider, long pole longer the better slot onto spider all the way to the bottom, then just pull/push depending where your standing. But that should easily get it off

    Where to pour just over the nut in between the alloy gaps aswell in order for it to go down the back of it?

    i just threw it on no placing needed really. it expands the metals at different rates meaning easier to get off. let us know if it works you got the kettle on? xD

    Hit the nut with a hammer and punch hard. Borrow a breaker bar and a 19mm socket of someone

    Get yourself a 1/2 torque wrench from Screw fix for £15 and a 19mm deep impact socket and keep it in the car, as if you ever have to change a tyre, having a longer bar will be so handy, also you'll be able to do the wheel nuts up to the correct torque instead of overtightening or undertightening.

    that's how you get it sorted 9.5 times out of 10. Makes a squeaking noise and that's when you know you got it loose.
