Mark at Shaumburg Mazda said that they "used a rubber mallet."

Let me reiterate: my a$$! The rubber mallet must've been the size of a Gallager hammer.

I was tugging on the wheels until my car was shimmying on the jack. I wasn't about to get hurt or damage my car over rotating my wheels. Schaumburg Mazda didn't scratch my wheels. I'm still pist that I had to pay $50 for nothing due to a factory design flaw.

You might want to try a piece of wood the size of a fence post and hit the back of the wheel like I tried. Remember to leave one bolt on so the wheel doesn't go flying.
