Getting rear tire off?

I feel like a complete idiot asking this question but I can't get the rear tire off for the life of me.. this should be the easiest thing in the world to do, but apparently not for me.

1. Break lugs loose
2. Jack up car
3. Remove lugs
4. Pull of hubcap
5. (should be "Remove tire" but it's not moving)

Help this dumbass out please

Make sure the car is stable with jackstands underneath it. What you want to do is tug on the 9 and 3 oclock position to break it free.

Also, try kicking the 6 oclock position and the 12 too.

We all started out knowing nothing, and learned by asking someone else. We learned the simplest things first, and then more and more over time. No reason to be embarrassed.
