Default Help: Rear Wheel Will Not Come Off...

I've got my car up to do a few things, but for some reason I cannot get the rear driver side wheel off the car. Lugs are off but the wheel just turns, but will not come off the car...

Any ideas?

Grab the sides with both hands. Then, knee it VERY hard either on the top or the bottom. That should break it loose.

Kick it
I've shot it up with some WD-40 and will start the kicking soon.
This is the first time this has happened, caught me off-guard...

Yeah, just kick and pull like hell. If that fails, let the jack down slowly, it'll pop right out.

make sure it's on some stands or something before you kick it...use your heel, not yer toe, unless you've got some steel-toed boots

Well, the knee did the trick, no kicking needed.
Emergency averted, thank guys...

Kicking it with your heel works better for me. I put my back to the car, and kick the F#*K out of it. I wouldn't knee it personally...if you knee it wrong you could hurt your knee.
