Default What's wrong here - can't remove my front wheels

2001 SH - took off the lug nuts, raised the car on jack stands, pulling on the wheel - it won't budge. Feel like a total noob. Help.

you probably have serious rust between the rim and the hub..try spraying some WD-40 and kicking the **** out of the left of right side..turn the wheel a little bit tho and kick whichever side is inside the wheel well..

or if you cant kick that hard, you could always lower it back to the ground so the wheels are touching. start your car and and crank the wheels back and forth all the way. this along with the WD-40 and "tire kicking" should have that wheel off in no time. or you could get a friend to help.

just remember to keep some lugs on to try this.
