This happened to both my front and back. I just had to hit the back a lot of times. The front (I was stripping my bike down) so I had the everything apart and I had it so I could hit the bolts and pop the hubs off. Just hit them, but dont bend a rim!!!!!!

well it'll leave an indentation and when you take the washer off you'll see a small ring around where the washer was

I've also gotten a wheel stuck on my hub, i took the hub off, put it on the ground so the hub was down, then hit the knocked the hub out by hitting the bolts

this happened to me also, I put the quad up on a stand and stuck a piece of 2x4 against the inside of the rim and kept on hitting it with a hammer. When you do this, go to opposite corners, not around in a circle. I did have some marks on my rim afterwards. Tr using a cloth wrapped around the 2x4. I had ITP rims that supposedly aren't supposed to be used with tapered buts, so you have to turn them around so the flat part is against the rim. When I got the wheels off, there was a ring of aluminum stuck on the threads, be sure to clean the threads so that they won't get the nut stuck in the future.

Ok here is what you do. This just happend to me and a friend of mine last week.
1. You loosen up your lug nuts and screw them out some but not all the way off.
2. Take a sludge hammer (5bls) and hit the nut( make sure you are hitting the flat part of the nut). Just hit them until they pop out the back of the hub.
3. Then after you take your wheels off, take a drill bit the same size of the hole in the rim and smooth the whole out.
4. Then when you put the tires back on make sure you put the flat side of the nut up against the rim.
I hope this helps you.:D
