<p class="MsoNormal">+1 vote for PB Blaster or its equivalent,
from the outside and behind the wheel, and compressed air.
Because you can move the wheel out a bit, my guess is that
there’s crud on the outer end of the spline hub which is being
wedged into the splines when you pull the wheel out from the
car. Get the crud loose and blow some of it away, that should
help.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Soak it in
Kroil or PB Blaster, shot in through the gap. Keep working the
wheel back and forth.<br>
<br>
I have seen them pulled with a chain around the section behind
the spokes linked to a gear puller forcing through the center.
But if it is that badly stuck, chances are good that the
splines are either already bad, or will be ruined by the
force. At some point, it becomes time to cut the wheel apart.<br>
<br>
One of the local shops here used to keep a cut wheel hanging
on the wall as a reminder to service the splines regularly. A
thorough coating of antiseize is a must. The copper based
stuff seems to work well for me, and I suspect is similar to
"copaslip". I had a bad experience with carbon/aluminum on my
Stag.<br>
Loctite also offers a "marine grade" that might be worth a
try.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have a Stag with wire wheels. I am
able to remove the octagonal nut. The wheel can slide
off the splines about 1/8" to 1/4" of an inch and that's
about it. It is rocking but I physically can't move it
beyond that. I'm not very strong which doesn't help. <o:p></o:p></p>
