Before removing a wheel, I always loosen the five wheel bolts one full turn. Then drive the car a distance of about 2 metres (6 feet), ie. one full wheel revolution. Then when you jack the vehicle up to remove the wheel it should come off easily. This method also has the benefit of cleaning up the hub centre bore, so that the wheel will also go back on easily.
Simply kicking the wheel like a horse or using the sledge hammer technique won't clean up the hub centre bore...and doing this while lying under the car probably means you have some kind of death wish.
Safety always comes first.
