Stuck wheel bad tire

Porta power? I've never had one I couldn't release the brakes, spin, and beat from the inside with a sledge, and get it free

 

I guess the outside tire is off, and the inner wheel is steel and is rusted to the brake drum, which in turn is rusted to the hub? And your trying to remove the studs to make getting off the inner wheel easier? If so, you won't get the studs out with a specialty stud remover tool. And if so try soaking with a lot of PB Blaster between the wheel and drum and let it sit for a while before attacking with a 12 lb sledge hammer.

 

Heat wrench,,

 

You could just leave the wheel on and change it, since you have the outer off.

Still needs fixed, but if you're in a bind, that would get you on the road quick

 

Put the nuts on loose and drive it around in circles.
Never had one I couldn't get off with a sledge hammer.

 

He said that it’s a Kentucky,so it may be a drop frame moving van.
Might not have room to work the irons.

 

Call the tire shop.
They’ll thank you.

 

This is going to be a dumb question but being a 1996 doe’s it have the Budd style lug pilot lugs with the inner thimble nut? If the nuts are removed those wheels very rarely stick on the hubs. Hub pilot wheels will weld themselves on and it may take heat and a bunch of oil to get them off. Either way One trick you can try as a measure of desperation if nothing else works is put the nuts back on studs and leave 1/2”from wheel. Drop the trailer back down on the ground connect it to a tractor and rock it back and forth to try and break it loose. You may have to drag it a little bit back and forth with the brakes locked.
