Good idea Shels.... Thinking the same thing!

Just loosen the lugs about a 1/4 inch, and drive around in circles! Take a few speed bumps, pot holes, curbs, trees, etc... That should knock them loose!

Gelignite works pretty well, but you'd need a new rim.

Gee a new rim? I dunno haha, we busted the one back wheel loose! used a bottle jack up against the frame and tire which I really didn't want to do, hitting the tire with a crowbar. That thing was on good!! Now we just have to do the second side. We used a lot of pb blaster and we even tried heating that center part of the wheel and it didn't work!

Sledge hammer and "Sting" the rim...I hit them on the round part just passed the bead where the rim is the softest...4 good hits and it is usually off and wont hurt the rim any...unless it is aluminum....

this sounds too easy, but it has worked for me on some pretty stuck wheels. Take another rim and tire and swing it into the sidewall of the stuck tire. That might hit it with more force than something small like a mallet.
