I think it's rusted to the hub/brake assembly. I took off the lugs and it won't even move. I sprayed some penetrant behind the wheel and hit it and swore at it and it still won't budge. I was thinking that I might lower the jack so the weight of the car would do the job, but I'm afraid if it's rusted really tight, I just might end up bending my brake and suspension stuff.
Any Ideas? -------------------- |

theres also a trick with a jack..recommended on bigger trucks, but you slam a rolling jack into the tire. that creates alot more force than kicking it. you have to make sure not to hit the wheel tho. us tire tech have our own tricks up our sleeves.
