Do not laugh this is a true problem.

Last night I was attempting to rotate the tires on my girlfriends toyota. I could get the front whels off the car with a easy kick to the rim to break the rust loose. I could not for the life of me break the rear wheels loose and get them off the car. after about 45 mins of sweat and swearing at the wheels I could not get the job done so I hung my head and replaced the front wheels.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get these rear wheels off this car? I am sacred if she gets a flat on the rear because there is no way I could have gotten that tire off the car. What would make this so difficult?

You might want to check to see if the posts are bent. If you think it's rusted on, use something like PB 80 to loosen it up first.
