    Put the lugs on but not super tight and drive back and forth. Rubber mallot. Put a ring of grease around the inside hole and it won't happen again.

    :D I think the problem is you're trying to take out the wheel from a single end, which ends up you're trying to bend the wheel rather than removing it from the lugs. It's a far fetch, but just hold the wheel up from the bottom or the sides, and just slowly nudge it out.

    Of course if I'm wrong about that too, then I don't know what's keeping you. I'd try some WD-40 on the lugs, but that just might make it loose afterwards.

    It's happened to me.

    Let me guess..is it the rear wheels? My fronts came off alright, but the back ones were rusted to the drum. A (big) friend of mine ended up prying them off with something..after liberal application of WD40. They eventually came off.

    If you really can't do it, go pay 20 bucks and get your tires rotated at a shop. That should fix it. :p
