I will quote the great Newton(I think)
Which I guarantee will solve ur problem.
"If I had a Fulcrum big enough I could move the world"
Just apply this principle to your wheel nuts and bingo.

digging up the past like this isnt healthy 
live for today my man
nearly every garage uses rattle guns but you still should be able to get your wheel bolts off easily by hand. most places torque up with a hand wrench after using the gun
