To remove the wheel, you need to:
1. Release the parking brake: This is crucial. Make absolutely sure the parking brake is fully disengaged.
2. If the wheel *still* won't come off: There might be other issues:
* Rust or seized components: Rust can weld the wheel to the hub. Penetrating oil (like PB Blaster) applied liberally to the hub's mounting surface might help loosen things up. You'll need to let it sit for a while before trying again. A mallet or rubber hammer might be needed to gently tap the wheel loose after applying the penetrant.
* Bent or damaged components: A bent wheel, damaged hub, or a stuck caliper can prevent removal. This requires a closer inspection.
* Wheel studs: A broken or severely bent wheel stud can prevent the wheel from coming off cleanly.
Important Safety Note: If you're struggling to remove the wheel, it's best to have a qualified mechanic take a look. Forcing it could cause damage to your vehicle or injury to yourself.
