When I do a home wheel rotation and encounter this problem I slip a hollow 6 foot steel fence post onto the lever.
Grab the end of the post, and you need the strength of a 5 year old to loosen the tightest of nuts.
Sorry, cant help you with anything else as it's out of my field of expertise. Having said that, my house mate blew and buckled 2 rims on her newish Beemer in a massive pot hole and the council fobbed her off enough times for her to give up.. (she could only be 'bothered' making 2 calls).
I have also heard of people who are persistent, and get a friend with some legal know how draft up and send a letter and get the repairs done with minimal resistance.
