Wheels frozen to axle
I'm trying to rotate my tires but they are completely frozen to the axle and won't budge!
What's the best way to break them loose? (and yes, I did take the lugs off first)

Put one lug nut on each wheel, 3 or 4 turns each. Rock the car side to side at each corner until the wheels pop off.

Loosen each wheel nut about 1 to 2 turns and drive the vehicle into some hard corners and using the brakes hard. This should loosen the wheel. Obviously do this where you can do this safely and do it at low speed.
