Took all 5 lugnuts off front wheel and still won't budge. Is there something else I'm missing or do I just pound the $#!+ out of it?

yes it should just come off sometimes though they dont want to.... your best bet is to sit on the ground with your feet on the tire and give it a good boot on the rubber on the side..... if that dosent work try attacking it from behind...good luck :)

Suggested Repair

With the lug nuts removed, sit on the ground and kick the tire sidewall firmly to break the wheel free. If it still will not move, strike or push it from behind.

Conversation Summary

The owner removed all five front lug nuts on a 1996 Lincoln Mark VIII, but the wheel would not come off and asked whether something else was holding it. The expert said the wheel should come off and recommended kicking the tire sidewall, or attacking it from behind if that fails.
