Kick it loose. Some buildup caused it to stick.

Did you make sure the turn signal was on "left"?

What?

My spare is stuck too. Myself and a friend tried getting it out. Nope. Praying for no flats!

be a man, either kick it loose or squat down to tire height and hit it with the palms of your hands.

i usually push the top of the wheel (12 o clock) to get the wheel loose from the hub.
if you're going to kick it, make sure you leave at least one lug loosely attached to the stud so the wheel does not fall off and get scratched.

another approach is to loosely screw in the lugs and do a figure-8 in your car.

final approach is go eat some spinach and retry...

I used a 3 pound sledge hammer to get mine off.
Newly powder coated wheel got stuck.

wait, your spare tire stuck? as in the one that's in the trunk?

speaking of spare tire, I just realized my Zenclosure is in the way of accessing my spare tire easily...

that would suck in an event of an emergency.... it always come at the worst time.

that said, i have emergency gear in each of my cars at all times. breaker bar, sockets, gloves, towels, etc.

Did yuo ever watch ONG BAK? You will first have to ripp off all your clothes and then do thai kicks and knees to a banana tree. Do this for a year, then when your training is done, come back to your car then punch the side of your tires to reflect upon all the training you have done
