I am trying to replace the front brake roters but the wheel nuts are extremely difficcult to remove. I have done quite a few disc brake jobs before but I never encountered such stubborn wheel nuts. Is there a trick to toyotas or am I just not doing something right. I am trying to turn the nuts counterclockwise (lefty loosy) but even with a 3/4 drive breaker bar I cant get them to budge. Help

if the lugs have never been off, chances are you will need to soak them with penetrating oil for a few days, and if that still doesnt help heat them up cherry red iwth a torch and crank on them.

you using a impact wrench?

you can put a long pipe on the end and use that as extra leverage.
