John. it's just technique. I find the anti clockwise undo harder because I'm right handed. With the clockwise undo, set the toolhandle just above 3 o clock, use your left hand to hold the tool firmly on the nut. If it's a loose fit. a bit of masking tape will tighten it up. Put an old blanket on the wheel rim if you want to be safe then hit it hard, and you should see it go slightly, then keep going. You will need the weight of the car on the ground to get it started.
