I'd go to a wrecking yard for the jack and Sears for a breaker bar
and a 19mm socket for the breaker bar.

I bought an '87 yesterday and am adjusting the rear brakes this
morning. I had to bounce on the 18" breaker bar to loosen the lug
nuts. I had to bounce a lot on a couple of them....
I have found the money spent for a breaker bar/socket for EACH car I
own to be money well spent when/if I have to change a tire.
