sounds like theres a bit of corrosion on the rim,just hit/kick the wheel hard at the top and then the bottom,keep doing that and it will seperate...

[elmaso]

oh, should have mentioned that i've already tried it, and, have had it jacked up and hit the shit out of the wheel.

Hi,

If you can spray either WD40 or a better penetrating oil in the join between the hub and the wheel and give it a bit of time. You may help if you can go for a drive and get a bit of warmth into the hub (ie use the brakes !).

Spray again after you get back and it should come free. Just don't get the spray on the brake rotor and contaminate your brake pads.

Just a suggestion.

Get a lever in between the rim and lower control arm and lever it off. Spin the wheel a bit to lever it off bit by bit if you have to.

Then clean it up with some emery paper or wire brush before putting it back on (both the wheel and the hub).

try jacking the car up and then wedging a piece of timber between the wheel and a brick wall.
then start the car up and turn the steering toward the direction of the timber. Sometimes it can pop the wheel off. Don't hold the steering against the timber for too long or you may damage the rack seals

I used to get the rotors off in a similar fashion, except I'd wedge the timber between the rotor and the chassis rail
