I'm not worried about getting them loose eventually, it's just on our F31 on axle stands there simply isn't room to use the longer breaker bar that I have for just these occasions and there also isn't room to swing a hammer to get any amount of force on the socket. It's a fairly tight space and unlike the front, I can't turn the axle to give me more space/leverage. Added to that is the fact that lying on my back is also not the strongest position to try this. Once we get the car up on a lift, it opens up more space below to use both the breaker bar and hammer, if required. It also looks like LugNutz also has some available air impact tools to use (which I don't have at home).
And believe me, I've gone through the "lefty loosey" mantra in my mind time and time again.
