Hi,

Is there some magic little something that I have missed??? I removed
all the nuts including that funny little plastic one and can't get the
tire off if you paid me. It just doesn't budge. Please enlighten me,
as I am stuck completely.

thx

You shouldn't have any plastic lug nuts. If you have removed all the lug
nuts then the wheel is probably rusted to the hub. Try hitting the wheel with
a large hammer but use a piece of wood ( 2x4 ) between the wheel and hammer.
Clean the wheel and hub and put some grease or anti-sieze on both to keep it
from happening again.
