You talking about the lug nuts?

Have you got a tyre iron? You maybe need to oil it (WD 40 or something similar to eat rust) and then literally stand on top of the tyre iron and bounce.

My ford tyres sieze up too and standard cranking isn't possible, have to like bounce on the tyre iron and loosen it up.

Requires elbow grease China!

Nah, got the nuts off, but the wheel it self is stuck to the hub by rust and a lot of time being stood..

Might be time to loosen them and take it for a very slow drive round the block....

Use a board or a sacrificial hammer against the frame and the power steering. Leave nuts on loose so the wheel doesn’t just fall off and have someone turn the steering. Use that force to pry the wheel off.

the wheel is stuck to the wheel hub? did you try lifting the tyre up and off, sometimes it hooks on the lug bolts. But yeah interesting..

Yeah, even put a piece of wood across and sledged the hell out of it.

It'll have to go up on a lift so someone else can get behind it... 👍🏻
