I have a problem. I got a 92 Accord DX. I have not really driven the car for about 5 to 6 months. This weekend, I tried to take off the driver side wheel only to find out that it is stuck. I tried soaking the hub, wheel, behind the wheel etc with WD40. Nothing worked.
Has this ever happened to anyone? If so, do you have any recommendations? I also tried tapping it with a hammer.

Whack the hell out of it with a large sledge or kick it several times! No, I'm not joking. This is assuming the brakes have released fully. Sometimes the wheels get stuck and it requires a total lack of delicacy to remove it.

Thanks. That must be what the problem is as I know the brakes are pretty low. I will give it another try this weekend.

The thanks is premature, let's hope it works!

It worked. I whacked it 2 or 3 times and it came right off.
