I use a 3/4" breaker bar. I tighten until it starts to dry jump (meaning the nut will start turning with short jumps with a cracking sound). I get the same motion and sound when I take them off. I do put a little anti- seize on the threads but not on the contact areas of the nut or wheel. I have broken wheel lugs off of my trucks when I got them as the nuts were rusted to the lugs. One of my breaker bars is bent from using a 4' cheater and standing on the end to get a nut to break loose.
