Get a bigger sledge. When you hit in the right spot it bounces back better. Lol
I've been there. Do NOT drive it with loose lug nuts. Unsafe. Just need to keep working at it. Bigger trucks are worse and the inner duals often times haven't been off for a decade on some of our trucks which don't see many miles. Heat can work.

Tracie's car + Tow strap = yank that bitch off bruh
I've been dousing it with PB all afternoon. I'll inflate and hammer in the AM and if that doesn't work, it's tow strap and horsepower time. Glad this wasn't on the mountain in Missouri or somewhere along my travels!

Better knock off all 4 and put a little white grease on the exterior hubs.
Easy now, let’s just stick to one right now.

Jack didn’t bleed off and place it back on the ground, right? Sounds stupid, but anger can be a hell of a blinder...at least for me it can. I’ve trashed a lot of things because I didn’t stop and think.

FYI if this ever happens to the front. Turn the wheel far as it'll go where the back of the tire points out, cut a length of 2x4 and place it between the tire and the truck frame, then turn the steering wheel and use the power steering hydraulic to pop it loose.
Don't yank it off your jack stand or floor jack. Tow bill to a shop to have someone else swap it is "probably" less than your deductible for body damage repairs.

It's daylight. You done yet? Tire removal is not a 2 day project 
I had the same thing happen on a 71 240z that had been sitting for 28 years. Both rears were stuck on along with the frozen brake drums.
My sledge hammer solved the issue.

That's something you don't find in a tire every day.
I hate stuck tires. Couldn't tell you the amount of times I've laid under a car or truck and swung a hand sledge or kicked the shit out of the tire from the backside. Kick it, spin the wheel, and kick it again. Just kept spinning and kicking until it finally broke loose.
