Shoot some penetrating oil or WD40 on the center hub of the wheel where it contacts the drum. Let it work for 15 or so minutes then wiggle the wheel off the brake drum

SOURCE: rear flat tire on toyota

This may sound offbeat, but you may have to kick the heck out of it to get it off the car. Heat can sometimes seize a wheel to the hub, especially combined with exposure to the elements. Or you can hit the tire using a small sledgehammer. Put a piece of 2x4 against the tire (NOT the wheel) and hit that with the hammer. Hit it at different points around the tire and eventually it'll come off.

SOURCE: changing flat tire, lugs off, tire wont budge

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.

SOURCE: tire stuck/lug nuts removed

use 3lb sledge on inner edge of rim be careful not to damage rim rubber mallet won't provide enough shock to loosen rust. ps leave one lug nut on so tire won't fly off.

SOURCE: I have a stuck lug nut through the rim.

try heating up the bolt with a mapp gas torch and using an air gun to remove it otherwise you may have to take it to your local tire shop and spend roughly $30 on having it removed. to install (once the old one is out) just push it in by hand put your new lug nut on and crank down on it till it reaches the end good luck!

Sit on the ground and use your feet to kick the tire on one side then the other. That should work the tire off of the hub.

Romoved lug nuts, but tire will not come off. Has

its not unusual to have the wheel stuck in place by grime and rust or cooked on greese .. make sure the van is secure with jack stands and tire blocks to make sure it cant move .. then you can kick the tire or hit it with a rubber mallet.. sometimes you have to use a bit of effort but it will break loose ..you can **** it from the top then front then back and bottom .. that should pop it loose ... its unusual but if it doesnt come loose then you can rent or buy a special wheel puller ... this attaches to your wheel then puts force via the lug bolts to force the wheel to break loose as you tighten it .. dont try to drive without lug nuts in place .. you could take it to a garage or friend that does mechanical work . they likely wont charge you for breaking it loose .. ..
