Front, rear, disk, or drum?

With drum brakes, the ridge can cause it to stick. You may have to back off the adjustment so that the drum slides off the shoes. .. or, as he says, "give it a kick".

Rotors... you did lift the calipers, didn't you?

Good luck!

Just give it a good kick like the guy above said... the rim basically freezes on, then you'll be good to go

Mine do that too, you just gotta tug at it. Tug at different spots on the perimeter of the wheel and itll eventually come loose.

Then put some grease or anti-seize on the round center part of the hub, where it was seized into the center hole of your wheel. You'll thank yourself next time...
