But of course I know that.
I was suggesting that ppl do it BEFORE their wheels get stuck to the rotors. I don't know why the manufacturer's don't do it right off?

I use the "swing the spare tire into the stuck tire" method.

Basically the tire you are swinging should be parallel with the stuck tire, swing towards the tire and have them impact at the 6-o'clock position on the tire. (tire to tire contact, although if the tire from the spare impacts the wheel...no harm done.) Give it a few good swings and she'll come loose.

The "yanking it out from the bottom" may work, but you're placing yourself at risk of the vehicle falling off the jack and onto you as you yank and pull.
