Default set the car down off the jack and let the weight of the car break the wheel loose.

They can corrode together over time.

Default When it rains for everyone else, it pours for you, huh?

Did you get your wheels off?

Default grab tire with both hands 180 degree apart, rock, rotate 90 degrees>

repeating .... usually i can dislodge the wheel by the time I make one revolution of the tire .... you really gotta put some muscle into it .... so make sure you have it on jack stands.
