okay, stijn collective, i have an automotive issue: i cannot get the wheel to separate from the hub on my discovery. i pulled the lug nuts and the wheel simply will not come off.

what i've tried:

i lowered the truck until the tire was resting on the ground and cranked the steering back and forth.

i've beat on it with a rubber mallet, inside and outside.

i tried a wonderbar (flexible crobar) between the wheel and the hub.

i've worked up a sweat. it is really stuck on there, like galvanic action between the wheel and the hub welded it in place.

any ideas?

edit:

i got it off. PB blaster in all the lug holes and in the center area. wonderbar action. an hour later. if that happened on the trail, i'd be in big trouble.

now to put air in the tire and see if i can find the slow leak.
