Stuck Rim

I would appreciate anyone's help on this. I am trying to remove my rims and the right front is stuck on the hub. I have loosened the lug nuts and lowered the car so the weight might break the adhesion with no luck.

Has anyone else had this happen and what did you do?

Thanks.

ALOT of wd-40 and try the weight trick again. If that doesnt work then beat the crud out of it with a rubber mallet

Flying Karate Kick usually does the trick.

I've only thrown punches at it so far. I'll try the kick thing next.

The flying side kick worked!!! Or... maybe it was the rubber mallet. Either way, thanks for all the feedback!

Yes, the simplest way is to stand behind it and kick it like a mule. Kick the bottom and it pop right off.

I run into this problem ever year at least twice when I change to winter setup and then back to summer - get a FIRM grip on the upper part of the rim toward the inboard side and pull like heck - it will loosen then you can shake it back and forth to get it loose - be careful not to force to hard and chip your caliper paint........seems like the mule kick worked out ok though!!
