How do you get a wheel off when after you take off the lug nuts and it won't budge?

soak it with some penetrating oil. Place one lug nut back on loosely, spin it and smack the back side with a 3lb sledge.

Well, there are to ways that I use: 1-the back kick... kick the rim with the back of your shoe while jacked up. 2-put a fence post on the back of the rim from the other side of the truck and hit it with a B.F.H.

I read somewhere that a guy put the 5 lugnuts on loosely and drove in circles.

my auto shop teacher had the same problem on a 75 c10 like mine. not even driving with no lugs worked. so he had to torch it. it happens because of the tigth clearence between the rim and the spindal. so i suggest when you can, put anti-seize alover the contact points.
