Brakes problem
2005 Chevy Equinox 6 cyl All Wheel Drive Automatic

The front wheels have been on the vehicle so long that, with the lugs off the wheels won't budge. Is there a trick to getting them off with out hurting something?

what i would do is loose up the lug nuts dont take them all the way off.get some liquid wrench spray it around the center hub area in the middle of the wheel let it soak in for about 30 mins.then get a big dead blow hammer and smack around the inside of rim working around the whole rim till it pops loose.let me know how it goes.
