Brute force an ignorance?? Other than that i guess you need an air wrench that they use at the garages?

did you get em off?
Mine got stuck too and i did what mark (Green saxo) said and it came off. I just kept whacking it top and bottom and then eventually it worked free, Fcuking annoying ain't it. Make sure you grease it up when you put teh Bolts and teh wheel back on it's copper grease or something.
works a treat no seizing then!!!!
