Help with CCKW / M35 Lug nut removal

Well, I finally found myself recently wanting to take two outboard tires off
one of my CCKW's to temporarily put on a BenHur trailer. I wound up not
being able to loosen any of the lug nuts
with any of the conventional tools I have....

what are the tools ( and methods ) of choice for removing lug nuts from the
bigger trucks ??

It looks like I need to "upgrade" into the proper tools for the job.

Any advice would be helpful !

Thanks
