Front wheels

I'm trying to inspect the front brakes on my 91. Do you have to remove the 32mm center nut just to get the wheel off?

I've got all the lugnuts off but the wheel won't budge (kicked it a few times as well).

Thanks

It's lugs only.

Kick harder, or maybe put the lugs back on but not tightly and put some weight on the wheel and roll the car back and forth to get the wheel to let go.

i spray wd40 on the lugs or a better pentrating oil. Then give it a crap load of kicks, but the rolling wheel idea is easier.

I just used Splinters impact gun to get my lugs off :)

I have occasionally had to take a deadblow hammer to the backside of the wheel to get it to come off.

Just be sure to have something to pad the wheel from the blows. My deadblow is covered in rubber......
