we normally just get them jacked up safe leave one lug on then take a 8 pounder and let loose from under at the tire.
when you do get it off clean all the gum and gunk off the hub and apply never seize around the hub before puting it back on to help you out the next time.

best if you do all 4 at the same time as we always find more then one frozen on at the same time.

some times i think i'd almost die they corroid on so tightly from road salt and grim around us and it will take a big gmc/dodge tool to make them budge off. by that i do mean a 8 pound mall or sledge.

please make sure it's on jack stands and safly sitting. ggod luck man
