I know this may be a stupid ?... my mom has a flat tire on her PT Cruiser.. front drivers side. I removed the lug nuts but the wheel still isn't coming off.
She doesn't have a manual as she got the car used...
What do I need to do to get it off???
Thanks!

Sometimes ya gotta kick the s*it outta the tire to break it loose, that is IF all the fasteners are out...
Quite simple. Just losen but leave on all the lub bolts. Then move the car forward and slam the brakes. Move backward and slam the brakes. This always does the trick for me.

That isn't hell on the stud threads??
Old trick. Put the wheel back on, tighten nuts, then back them off maybe a half-turn. Then start the car and move it gently back and forth on the driveway, turning the steering wheel side to side a couple of times. Works every time.
Did you jack up the car first?

^^^^^i was going to say the same thing
OF MINE;
when jacked up take the spare and slam it into the frozen tire a few times, rubber to rubber.. what happens I find is after time road salt and junk causes the wheel to freeze to the hub
