So I try to take the driver side wheel off, surprise it ain't happening!
The wheel is stuck. How do you get this thing off? Use a torch?
Rent a massive puller? ..a hydraulic puller?

a few gentle taps might help

Buddy I took a sledge hammer to it but not full power, hard to do on your back, and still no go.
I might just go the dealer with this one and sip cofee watching them wrestle with it LOL

i wouldnt go to the dealer that would be kinda embarrasing.kick the tire jack it up enough so the tire doesnt hit the ground put a lug nut on just turn it a couple of times so it doesnt come off and kick the crap out of it and rotate the tire around and keep doin it thats what i would do good luck

LOL embarassing , man you have me confused with someone who has time for that LOL.
I have to go and get the U Joints replaced under recall anyway.
I'll make their day and nonechalntly tell'em to roatate the tires.... then ask'em what's taking so long LOL
I did all that and a sledge hammer but still no go

just turn the tire and hit the back with a blunt object. for instance if it is
the right wheel, turn the wheel all the way to the left and hit the back side of the right tire where it is sticking out with the side of a hammer. make sure you leave one lug half threaded on to catch the rim from flying off. If it still won't budge, spray some rust penetrant or wd40 on the lugs and the hub, wait five minutes and hit harder. I have to take wheels of school buses that are really stuck on sometimes but that works everytime and nothing gets damaged ever.

guys just be careful, you don't want to be kicking your car really hard while its up in the air. the jack my slip or the stand, whatever and your car will crash to the ground and possibly hurt yourself. so be careful.

OK I'll try that too, I didn't turn the wheel like you said when I wacked it with the sledge hammer, but I'll do it now.

I usually spray some PB catalyst on the threads and on the lug nuts, then put them back on tight. Then also spray the wheel from behind. Drive around for about 5 to 10 minutes. Them put the car up on stands and use two on each side on the front to keep it from falling and leave the jack under the car. Then kick the bottom of the wheel after you take off the lug nuts, kicking it firmly but not forcefully with pop off the opposite side of the wheel. It works everytime I've done it.
