How do I get my rims off?

[BRICE]

I had same problem with mine in spring... Calcium!!!!!!!!!!

Jack you car... Take a hammer... Hit the tires when turning it... Worked for me!

and before you put them back on...
get a wire brush and polish off the hub and the center of the rim.
then apply some anti-sieze paste and apply a thin coat to mating hub surface.

for future refence you can use the weight of the car to break loose the tire. Loosen your lugs, jack up, loosen the lugs more then lower the car back to the ground until the wieght of the car makes the rim pop off the hub, only once have I had to raise it and lower it a second time. It'll save your foot some grief.

i tried that on my MPV when I had a flat a few weeks ago and it didnt work and I tried several different times.. I actually screwed on all lugs loosely and set the car on the ground with flat tire and rocked the van back and forth like I was at a Megadeath concert to no avail. Finally took a 2' cresent wrench to the back(all I could find with the help of a friend who had it in his truck) and tapped it from the back side while off the ground.
