Can't get the wheel off.

[roccit_53 at hotmail.com (C Boyko)]

I know exactly the car you mean, Denny got an 87 Nova the same year I got 
the Jetta.
SO here's the result, I wimped out on the brakes, I just don't have time, 
all that working and such crap. But just before I took it out, I wailed on 
it one last time with a 4X4, and it popped off. It had been marinating in a 
different corrosoin killer, maybe that was the trick, or just the time to 
let it seep in. Anyway, I got the wheel off, just not in time for me to 
consider doing the brakes here. It just figures. Gotta go...Cathy
