Wheel and removal of
Before anyone says undo the nuts I've just spent the best part of the day trying to remove the off side front wheel , the car has been stood for about six months while I waited for the good weather and time to change the head and fix the brakes which is what I was going to do today till I found that I couldn't remove the wheel in question. I removed the nuts and the wheel wouldn't come off I've tried pulling, levering, and hitting it to loosen it but to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas how to get it off? Could there have been a chemical reaction between the alloy of the wheel and the metal of the hub causing it to fuse together?

This is what I do if you have a wheel that is siezed to the hub and it won't come off. Take all the lug nuts off, then lower the car down so the weight of the car is on all four wheels, sometimes this is enough to brake it loose. Sometimes you will need to roll the car ahead a few feet. As soon as it brakes loose jack up the car and take the wheel off.

jack it up, take of the wheel nuts, then lay under the car front and kick the wheel outwards, turn 1/4 turn and repeat.
make sure you have an axle stand under it too, dont want the car to fall on you.
