I can't get a flat rear tire off of my 1998 toyota corolla...is it rusted on or is there a trick? I took of the hub cap and lug nuts.

Put one lug nut back on so it doesn't go flying. From the back side of the wheel, using a 5 1b hammer, get yourself in a stable position and hit the tire from behind, spin it halfway and do it again. Repeat for about a dozen whacks. If it still doesn't come off repeat the same but hit the outer edge of the rim.
