How to get tire off? Stupid question but help!!

I got the lug nuts off but I am guessing that the center cap is holding the rim. If so, how do I remove the center cap? The tire is definitely fixed to the axle w/ the lug nuts off. This is the front wheel BTW.

Thanks!!

Nah, the centercap just sits in the wheel. The wheel is just stuck on there with some dirt and crap ... give it a swift stomp-kick and it'll pop loose.

If you don't have enough muscle..gently let the car down with your floor jack..the weight of the car will break it loose..You have to do this VERY slowly.

Well, that's extremely helpful advice. I bet your other 8 posts have been as impressive .

Don't suppose you know a skinny honky by the name of Carson Fischer, do you?
