Flat Tire NEED HELP PLEASE!!
I have a 2001 A6 4.2 and I am trying to change a flat tire. I pulled off all the 5 lug nuts. However, the tire won't come out. Am I missing something here? Are there more lug nuts that need to come out?
Will appreciate your help!

kick the **** out of it, no you heard me right, sometimes the tires just get stuck on from road conditions and age, just take off the bolt and with the car supported securely kick the **** out of the tire either at the top or bottom.
I am so happy. Thank you much.

The force, strong, in this one, is!

Yep, I had to do that on my front wheels - spent about five minutes with steel-toe boots, kicking the living sh*t out of the tires before the wheels broke loose from the hubs. It's called "impact troubleshooting" or "percussive maintenance"
