Rear flat tire on toyota yaris - stuck on - can't budge tire with lug nuts off.

put a lug nut on about 3 turns and hit the back of the wheel with a hammer.

To remove the tire there are 4 lug nuts or even five.Thats is all that need to be removed to take the tire off. Right where the spare tire is stored are direction as for that center nut that is for the axles.leave that alone unless you are removing the axle.

kick the tire ... (without hurting your foot)... as hard as you can... (when all lugs are off)... strange I know..... try it and don't stop

Find jack follow instructions to raise vehicle after parking brake is on. Remove lug nuts and take wheel with flat tire off. Replace with the spare tire and tighten lug nuts. lower vehicle, put jack , lug wrench and flat tire in vehicle. Drive to a tire repair store and fix the problem.

Rims tend to stick on the rotors, especially if they've never been changed. Take a rubber mallet and hit on opposing sides of the rim it should break free.

Find the jack and jack up the rear just in front of the rear tire you are changing. (don't lift off ground completely yet). Using the lug wrench (also called a tire iron) break loose each lug nut.

Finish raising the vehicle just high enough that the tire isn't touching the ground. Finish removing the lug nuts, then pull tire off. Put new (different/spare) tire on, and put the lug nuts back on, and tighten by hand until tire is snug. With the car still raised, lightly tighten the lug nuts, until snug again (by use of lug wrench).

Lower car completely and tighten the lug nuts again (do not over tighten). At all points of tightening lug nuts, do so in a criss cross pattern. Start with one, then move to the one directly across from that, and so on (not all will be "directly" across at all times, so just make sure you alternate and don't go in any consecutive (clockwise/counter clockwise) order.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

Not to sound like an *** but hit it harder? Theres nothing else holding you wheel on except corrosion. If you put one lug nut on loose and then hit the tire from the back and keep spinning it hitting it in a different spot each time it should fall right off and the lug will stop it from flying.

Make sure the vehicle is secure on the jack... you should also have a floor jack for safety.... take your foot or a sledge hammer and hit the edges of the tire... it will come off.

The wheel is just rusted on the hub. Just take a rubber mallet and hit a few times. Or kick it a few times. This is a very common thing.

Wheel is stuck in place, gently tap on inside of rim with hammer or better a rubber mallet. May take some time but should jar it loose.
