Here is a method for removing sticking wheels.
Back off each wheel nut( or bolt) 1 turn & no more than 1 turn.
Now, jack up your car and see if your wheel can easily be removed. If not then try this.
Lower the car on to all wheels again. You still have 1 wheel a little loose remember.
On a flat surface move the car back and forth 1 car length only a few times.
Now lift it up again and see if the wheel is free. It should be, but if not then back off the nuts( or bolts) on the offending wheel one half more turn giving you a total of 1 and one half turns total per nut.(or bolt)
Roll the car again but don't drive it like that, because it could be dangerous.
Remember the wheels have 8 to 11 full threads holding each nut.( or bolt)
Good Luck !
