Interesting problem

Lug nuts removed yet wheel remains, I repeat wheel remains. I have exhausted my arsenal of pulling, kicking, hitting it with a hammer, prying with a crowbar, and of course simply yelling at it

Wheel was removed and put back on by me no more then 4 months ago.

You will have to resort to the Kung-Fu kick my friend . Hit your tire with a BFH works also. (NOT THE RIM) You could also loosen your lug nuts a little and back down the driveway to free it up.

yell at it a little more, then take the tire in hand at the 3 and 9 oclock positions and wiggle it back and forth. That should get it loosened up and off of there.

You know what Chuck Norris would have done.

Seriously,

you'll need to take a sledge and gently hammer it on the tire to try to loosen it.

I still think that calling Chuck up for some help would be just great.

Hunter

1. Chuck Norris’ tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.
2. Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.
3. Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs.
4. The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.
5. Chuck Norris defines love as the reluctance to murder. If you’re still alive, it’s because Chuck Norris loves you.
6. Chuck Norris isn’t hung like a horse. Horses are hung like Chuck Norris.
7. If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. If you can’t see Chuck Norris you may be only seconds away from death.
8. Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead decided to punch his way out of his mother’s womb.
9. There are no disabled people. Only people who have met Chuck Norris.
10. Chuck Norris can win a game of Monopoly without owning any property.
11. There is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures Chuck Norris allows to live.

I have found that cursing while yelling helps tons.

Chuck Norris? A little old now. He might not have the strength anymore to tackle a Jeep problem.

Maybe someone younger like Jet Li or someone. Pretend the wall is a tire and remember to follow through.

Take your spare tire and roll or throw it at it. Aim for the outer wall of the tire.

Put a block of wood against the wheel and smack it with a BFH, when you reinstall it put some neverseize on the center index ring so it doesn't happen again.

Mine came off with a lot of kicking and swearing. Ended up coating the hub with anti-seize to keep it from happening again.

How about putting the lugnuts on backed off about a 1/8 turn and driving over some curbs?

That's an idea but, with aluminum mags, you could oblong the hole.

well I yelled at the problem but like all democratic idea's that failed. So I took My republican approach. lowered the opposite side then dropped kicked the top of the tire, on the 3rd try it came off.What really pisses me off is that the rotor was perfectly free, usually those are stuck on pretty good

You'd feel better if the rotor was stuck on just as firmly?
