So, I'm hoping that someone might have a good idea on how to solve my dilemma... I recently picked up an e36 which has been sitting a while. I've gotten 3 of the wheels off however I cant seem to make the last one budge. I've tried the normal methods- soaking with PB blaster, beating it, prying on it, lowering the jack quickly(to "drop" the car on the rim), kicking it from the back.. nothing works at all- I would have taken heat to it however, with the PB blaster soaked in on it, I'm hesitant to apply heat.
Anyways, anyone have any new ideas on how to get this wheel off?

Replace the other wheels finger tight.The one that is sticking,just place bolts on loosely to prevent wheel from falling off.Drive car forward a few feet while turning wheel side to side.Wheel should be loose enough to remove,if not repeat a little more vigoriously.:)

Solved. I stuck a 2x4 inbetween the strut and pryed on the wheel. worked great =]
