Flat tire on a PT Cruiser - how to remove wheel

I know this may be a stupid ?... my mom has a flat tire on
her PT Cruiser.. front drivers side. I removed the lug nuts
but the wheel still isn't coming off.

She doesn't have a manual as she got the car used...

What do I need to do to get it off???


Thanks!

Sometimes ya gotta kick the shit outta the tire to break it loose, that
is IF all the fasteners are out...

 

Quite simple. Just losen but leave on all the lub bolts. Then move the car
forward and slam the brakes. Move backward and slam the brakes. This always
does the trick for me.

That isn't hell on the stud threads??

 

Old trick. Put the wheel back on, tighten nuts, then back them off maybe a
half-turn. Then start the car and move it gently back and forth on the
driveway, turning the steering wheel side to side a couple of times. Works
every time.

 

Did you jack up the car first?

 

^^^^^i was going to say the same thing

 

OF MINE;

when jacked up take the spare and slam it into the frozen tire a few
times, rubber to rubber.. what happens I find is after time road
salt and junk causes the wheel to freeze to the hub

 

1 big hammer and hit the inside rim towards the out side. what yr is it ?
you may want to put some grease on the inside of the wheel to keep it from
sticking. you may realy need to wack it a good one to get it off my 01 will
do it some times .sku
