Wheels stuck...
I was wondering an easier way to take off the wheels because they seem to be almost pressed on every time I try to take them off.

You've done it before, do it once again the same way. Then, before you remount again, apply a coating of grease around the hub. You'll never have an issue again.

I'd add in some wire brush action around the hub if there is corrosion as well.

Thanks for the replies. I did take them off once, but then they were even harder the next time to the point in which I had the dealership do it. I will definitely lube up the hub next time.

Don't waste your time kicking at it. With the lug nuts loosened take the spare tire and use it to give the stuck wheel a good hard whack.
