rear wheels won't come off

[underground6t9]

I trying to rotate my tires and I can't get the rear wheels off. I take of the lug nuts and the wheel is stuck to the drum or something. need help asap. thanks

If all lug nuts are off and the car is safely jacked up. Sit down in front of the tire and kick it hard on the rubber tire portion. This should break it loose from the hub.

or use a 5lb sledge to the back side of the tire using a 2x4 up against the rim

hey, what's that silver or white grease stuff that a shop will put on the hubs to keep the wheels from sticking in the future called??

[bbsgarage]

could it be anti-seize?

[TrdSpeed140]

yea, probably. too late now though, I already put 'em on and I don't wanna take them back off now that the temp is getting to be below zero, my garage is freezing!

Anti-seize is usually copper or dark brown, but a lot of things will work for that purpose. I wouldn't worry much about it. As long as the wheels are taken off periodically (such as for tire rotations), it ought to be just fine.
