A while back someone had a problem getting their wheel off. I think Tester said to put a couple lug nuts on but loose and drive the car a little to unfreeze the wheel from the axle.  
  
  
  
 I was helping a friend this afternoon who had a flat in the parking ramp and sure enough the wheel wouldn’t budge. Drove it back and forth a little and turned the wheel some and the thing popped loose. I’d never experienced that before but saved a tow and a lot of frustration. That’s the kind of thing that happens on a dark night on the side of the road.
