Thanks. I kind of figured it was just unintentionally sealed somehow, but I'm hesitant to jerk it too hard for fear of knocking it off the jack. My neighbor has a heavy-duty jack that should be sturdier. When I get home from work this evening, I'll try your "mallet" suggestions.

OK - I feel REALLY stupid asking this question... Opened the garage this morning and found that my right front tire was completely flat. So pulled out the manual, figured out how to release the spare tire, jacked it up, and removed the lug nuts (including the locking nut). Believe it or not, I can't figure out how to get the darned tire/wheel to come off - it won't even budge. I've tried everything I can think of - car is in park, emergency brake on, adjustable suspension height is off, and I can't see anything else blocking removal of the wheel. Only thing I can think of at this point is this - I just got it back from the body shop last week and the right front was the primary area of repair, including new wheel. I'm thinking maybe there's some type of contact seal that I'm having trouble breaking. Any ideas at all? Silly question I know...
