@Surferdude : I am gradually losing physical strength and have found that things I could do easily 20 years ago when I was 60, are now at best difficult and at worst impossible. Add angina to the mix and I am a poor old soul. As I said in my post my wrists have gone - which is not far from the truth. Arthur Righteous is creeping in.
The car does not come with a spare wheel or wheel wrench - instead it has one of those ghastly gunge inflation kits. This is why I bought a spare wheel, jack and 4 leg spider wrench which I find more effective. I am now adding a breaker bar for the reason given.
Al,
Try using the breaker bar, but, stand and use a leg - body weight will help.
I'm not 80 but I have 2 teded shoulders 😕
You need to be careful doing this. Sometimes the nut will let go suddenly, dumping you on the ground and with the risk of damaging your leg, hip or back.
Yeah , true i revoke my hint.
