LOL Or if that fails pull out the manual and read it for yourself. :D :D

Sorry, I missed including "some details": The problem is I removed all the lugs and the wheel will not come off the car. 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

Put it across the rim to cushion the blow. A rubber mallet probably won't give you enough of a jolt to knock it loose.
