My rear wheels wont come off?

[DuneOH]

Ok, I was going to rotate my tires, but I can't get the rear wheels off. I removed all the lug nuts, pulled, hit it with rubber mallet, pried, rocked the entire vehicle...it wont budge. Both rear wheels refuse to come off (fronts ok). I did not have the parking brake on. Any ideas?

Give it a good kick on one side. Everytime I take the wheels off, the rears are stuck. A couple of good hard kicks to one side usually does it.

The rims are corroded on the hub, you can try leaving the lug nuts half way off the threads and rocking the Envoy from side to side till the rim breaks free from the corrosion. The other thing i also have done was to leave the lug buts half way off the threads and moving the truck forward and hitting the brakes hard to break the rims free from the corrosion. You'll be able to hear the rims break free and once that has been done, you should not have any other issues about taking the rims off.

Just be careful and you don't have to be moving fast to break the rims free from the corrosion. Good luck and be safe.

Spray the contact points with WD40 or another rust buster. Let sit for 1 hour and kick the tire as mentioned above.

A good kick should break em loose!
