So i'm trying to remove my "free spinning" front driver side tire to put on the spare (screw in tread) and the wheel will not budge. Lug nuts out, plastic cap is off. I tried kicking the sucker, hitting it with a tire iron in various points, and even shoving and pulling it off. What the hell am i missing, a jackhammer? Help please. Oh, doesnt have a security lug.

Ok, maybe I'm stupid but what does "free spinning" mean happened to your tire? You could have rust holding onto the wheel which can be very stubborn at times. Not much else I can see restraining the wheel after what you say you've removed.

Hopefully he has gotten that tire off by now (post was in 11/05).
I would suspect rust also....WD-40 anyone?
By 'free-spinning' I think he means the bead had broke loose from the wheel since he lost all his air from the screw hole.
