rear wheel stuck on hub

I know this is an old thread, but there's a simple leverage difference between smacking the outside sidewall and the inside sidewall. Smacking the outside is like a teeter totter. Smacking the inside is like lifting a wheelbarrow. I've always had success smacking the inside sidewall, rotate, smack, rotate.

 

I didnt. Who resurrected this thing?

 

Since this thread is being commented on, I'll put in my two cents. Couple months ago I had a helluva time getting truck ready for air bags & new shocks. After an hour of no luck using first a ballpean hammer, then a deadblow & no luck I came on here wondering if anything else besides the lug nuts is holding it on. Went back outside & sprayed lug nut pockets & removed centercap & sprayed in there with PB Blaster, let it soak & then a half hour later I used an old wooden baseball bat on the inside of the tire. 45 minutes for drivers side & close to an hour on passenger with numerous soaks in between. For an old guy with a heart condition it was no walk in the park. Wire brushed the hub as best I could before the tires went back on. Had a feeling they'd go back on just as pleasantly as they came of. Carried a torque wrench with me for a week & every day wheels needed retorqueing. Finally after the fifth day they seemed to be properly fastened
Word of advise, check lug nut toque often after doing a wheel change

 

3 pound hammer - tapped gently on the INSIDE wheel lip/bead, while spinning the wheel will break the seal in about 20 seconds or so.

 

Moral of the story...
Always buy life insurance for your loved ones...
And get someone else to remove those damded wheels with the insurance money
