Yup..........KICK THE LIVING SNOT OUT OF IT. I used and flat steel bar and a 6x6 for leverage. I used PB Blaster too.

The fronts were ok and the rears where a frozen heap of sweat and tears.

NEVER SIEZED the heck out of them and had never had a problem again.

Just remember, do NOT hit the rim with a hammer... I used to work in a tire shop and we got a 99ish F350 DRW in, the rears would not come off, one of my co-workers slid under the truck (january, so its got melting snow dripping everywhere) and proceeded to hit the rim, well, one blow and he got the sweet spot and the tire bead/6" chunk of rim blew right out and luckily he was wearing safety glasses.
