Rear Wheels Stuck
My rear wheels are stuck on the axle. I would rather not beat on them as I have read in other threads.
I have these wheels -
Do you think a brake drum puller like this will work?

have you tried just giving it a kick at the bottom of the wheel from the inside? just make sure you are using a solid floor jack

A good whack with a dead blow mallet on the inside bottom should knock it loose. Be sure to hit the rim, not the tire as the tire will absorb the energy from the mallet blow.

That brake drum puller will likely damage the rims more than a blow with a dead blow hammer.

Put the car back on the ground, loosen the lugnuts a few turns and roll the car back and forth.

That works. I have the aluminum wheels and mine had become stuck from sitting a very long time before I bought it.

Nice, I'll give that a shot
