Default wheel is stuck!

I'm trying to rotate my tires, but the wheel won't come off! All the lug nuts are off, and it's the final wheel to take off.

It seems that there could be rust holding it onto the hub portion and I've tried wd40 and kicking and pulling to no avail.

Suggestions?

haha yea, when i first started working at this autoshop i was afraid to hit ****....but after awhile the BFH technique becomes second nature [8D]

best is when you tell someone to do that and they go and whack the tire and they get spun around by the bounce of the hammer off the tire lol

Man when I changed my brakes a few months ago I've never had a wheel stuck so bad. Took me like 30 min of banging b/c I didn't have a rubber mallet.

Haha yeah I have a fine assortment of BFH's in my garage... and I keep various scraps of wood laying around... I had to hold a piece of wood against my old brake rotors, and beat the snot out of them to get them to come loose. Good times!
