This was probably not one of my better ideas, or one that's very good for the bolts or rim, but as I was once told, you do what you gotta do, and this was one of those times. Steel wheel was really stuck on a friends car, wouldn't come off with any amount of pounding. So, we back the nuts off enough on the ground to give a few mm of play between the back of the wheel and the hub. Jacked the car, and then dropped it!! That's all it took. Again, not somethign I recommend, but we were doing a lot of work on that car, and changing many bits, so if we bent anything, we planned to just add it to the list.
