I know many women and more than a few men who couldn't change a tire if their life depended on it. They can't break the lug nuts. Even when jumping on on the lug wrench, not an especially easy thing to do for an older person, the lug nut often refuses to budge. For many years I've kept a short length of pipe in the trunk of our vehicles. It provides an extension for the lug wrench and greatly increases the leverage making it a whole lot easier to loosen the nuts.
