Cause I can't, I even had my 300 lb friend who plays football try and crank that crap off, but even he couldn't. It's just on one wheel, any suggestions.

Wheel? As in wheel & tire, or steering wheel?

I had a Loaner VW Beetle that I got a flat in

I could not get the wheel to come off the hub.
So I gave it a swift kick to the bottom of the tire and off it came.

Here is what I did

....Do at your own risk...
Put blocks and spare tire under the car to kinda hold the car just in case the floor jack & stand lets go. Then try to kick the tire on the lower part from the inside. I then applied some kind of anti-seize before remounting them and I have not had a problem in over a year.
