Just had that happen to me the other day.
I did what others have been suggesting. Sprayed the joint with penetrating oil, then took a steel bar, put it through the holes in the rim and hit it with a mini sledge. Took about 10 mins of hammering hard but then it just fell off. Just make sure to keep switching what hole or spoke you have the bar through so you push it off even.
Good luck with it!

put the wheel and drum back on the truck and leave the lugnuts just loose enough that the wheel/drum assembly has some minute play on the axle flange. drive a couple of feet and mash the brakes.

upload the pic to photobucket, you have to create an account there first.

Once you have the pic uploaded, you have to view it in the Gallery you put it in. If you click on the pic to select it, a little box will appear with various "tags" that you can copy. Use the "Image Code" just copy and paste it into your post, and it will show the actual image.

Nice. There was a bar in town named "The Red Door" at one point..... (even though the door was green.....)

So, do you have an extra set of wheels?
