I've had to use a 3 lb. hammer to break steelies loose before, but usually a swift kick will get them off.

Like everyone said, just give it a good kick, or use a rubber mallet. That's what I used because I didn't want to dirty my shoes, lol.

Use a sledge hammer. thats how we get them off my friends vw. on vws the wheels can get stuck really badly to the hub because of the design. it once took over an hour and a half to get put on the spare tire on in the middle of atlanta.
