tire rotation

Asked the dealer to rotate my tires when they did the rollover valve recall...well they didn't do it, so today I'm doing it myself but can't get the rear wheel to budge....seems to be 'frozen' on the hub....anyone have ideas on how to break the wheel free?

Give it a couple hard kicks. If that doesn't free it, put the lug nuts on loose, jack up the back axle and put it on stands, put the truck in drive, run it up to 30 mph or so on the speedo and hit the brake.

Kick the crap out of it. Sometimes they are can be difficult, nothing a swift foot to the lower side of them won't fix usually.

kick the top of it really hard. I had to find this all out when some dummy hit me at night & popped my back tire. Word of advice: make sure you know how your spare tire is hooked up & locked in. It's a pain to get it out if you can't see anything.
