thanx
thanx guys, it worked.
gave it a soft kick and it came off fine.
very little if any rust.
so hard to get it off probably because it the first time rotating since getting the car.

so there is nothing 'special/ different' that is holding only the rear wheels? none of that special sensor stuff..?
cause i did try to yank it out by hand. gave it a few hard pulls to the point where the car was moving a little on the safety stand.
so at that point i thought not to pull any harder. dont want to yank so hard that the car come off the stand...
will try the WD-40 solution to see if that will work.

No I don't think you wanna use WD-40. I was just kidding. Hence the "j/k" at the end of the sentence.

smack it on the backside of the whee/tire with a rubber mallet when you have all the lugnuts off, and it should break the rust off and make the wheel come loose

If the mallet doesn't work put the lug nuts back on loosely and drive the car a little way. You'll hear the wheel free itself.
