Thought I would start on the front of the parts car. Driver
side tire came off no problem, passenger side just hangs
there. I can't get it off and yes the lug bolts are out and
the tire is off the ground.

This is the 74 LE that has sat for 18yrs. Any thoughts?

Why is it always the passenger's side wheel that sticks???

Note--"Fake Fuchs" wheels seem to do this more often than the Real Thing.

GABH, Get A Bigger Hammer.

If all else fails, put the lug bolts back in just over finger tight. Drive a little bit--just a little. You should start to hear strange noises from the front of the car in a bit. That's the wheel coming loose.

Naturally, you must be very very very very careful... Having the wheel fall off while you're driving would not make you happy.
