Ok. Now that we have established that your problem is that the
wheels are frozen to the hubs, I have the following suggestions.
1. Lift one side of the car as high as possible with out rolling it
over and liberly soak the interior of wheel/exterior of splined hub
with penetrating oil. Be patient and repeat every few hours for a
couple of days. Carfully try to remove the wheel. Use an
appropriate pry bar between brake disc/drum as a persuader.
2. If this does not work. Try to adapt a gear puller to grab the
wheel and push against the end of the spindle/axel. Tighten up on
it, use your pry bar, soak it some more with penetrant, Heat the
wheel hub with a torch.
3. If all else fails you will probably have to destroy the wheel
and cut the wheel hub in half with a torch.
Good Luck.
