Answer 1

If the studs are too tight. Ask someone to do it for you. If its the anti theft stud. Search the car for the anti theft key. If the wheel is an alloy and stuck to the hub. Get a rubber mallet or heavy hammer and a piece of wood, get on the floor and hit the back of the rim ( use the wood with the ordinary hammer) turn it a bit and hit it again. Repeat until it comes off.

Answer 2

If it has the special lock lug nut you need the lug key made for it.

If you have all the lugs off but the wheel still wont come off take the spare and gently throw it at the tire. Not to hard though. Just hard enough to Break it loose.

Answer 3

Air up the tire and drive it to a full service station.
