get a 19mm or 3/4 inch SIX POINT 1/2 drive socket. deep reach is ok. put on an 18" or a 24" breaker bar. If you can move them with your body weight using this setup, then get a length of steel tube that will slip over the end of the breaker bar, go about half way done the breaker bar length, and *then* you should have about 3-5 feet of leverage. then lean on it... if that doesn't do it, use a longer bar still, it will break loose.
and after all that, as the other poster said, if this was done at a shop go there and talk to the manager. As him if 1) he is married or has teenage drivers in the house and 2) how he would expect them to mount a spare if needed on a long dark desolate road...
And then insist they use a torque wrench in the future!
