OK, so I got a flat and had some issue with the Porsche tools. The jack I more or less figured out, but how exactly do you take the lug bolts out?

There seems to be 2 pieces in the tools, one that connects to the lug, and a handle that goes through it. Is that it? I used a lot of force and I could not get the lug nuts to budge, but it was much easier with a regular lug wrench.

Did I do something wrong or are those Porsche tools just kind of a bad and inferior to the lug wrench?
