attemped to rotate my tires yesterday and ran into the craziest problem: my rear wheel wouldn't come off the rotor/hub.

all the bolts were removed, the wheel was completely off the ground, but it wouldn't budge. i tried pulling, kicking ( i was that pissed ), lowering the car's weight onto it ( with the bolts in but not tightened ). but no luck.

this is a first for me. i've had hard to remove bolts before, but not a wheel. any suggestions would be appreciated.

info: '88 90. 15" cq speedlines. wheel had been removed in past. wheel rotates freely.

i used to take the lug wrench, prop one end on the caliper (*make sure your ebrake is engaged), and gently pry the wheel off that way.
