I have a 2010 Ford E 350 van and am trying to remove the rear wheels for brake service, all the lugs are off and the tires on either side are really stuck on the hub, big time, really need some good ideas for removal, don't want to beat on the wheels either, used tons of rust penetrating oil and no success Please help, thanks, Tom

 

Mule kick it.

 

Yep.. get your steel toed boots on, sit on the ground next to van and give the tire/wheel a few big kicks at 10 and 2.. you won't hurt anything.

 

Mile kick for sure.

Stand in front of the wheel, facing AWAY from it, and give it a mile kick as hard as possible at any outer edge of the wheel/tire.

 

Better idea, take a 6-foot 4x4 and whack the wheel, end on with it. Wear gloves though, you don't want splinters.

 

I've used a jack handle against the leaf spring and tire and popped them off. On my sons explorer I had to loosen up the lugs and drive in a circle to pop em loose.
