Is there a secret I am not aware of to remove the wheel off this vehicle? It's a 2000 CSVT (I'm new to this vehicle). I have had similar problems with A LOT older vehicles where the wheel would "freeze" to the hub and need to be BEAT OFF the vehicle. Before I go whacking on the rim, I thought I might ask if I am missing some secret about it's removal?? Thanks Joe
