This may be a stupid question but is there a key for getting a factory 2001 qx4 wheel off? I got the lugs off and it jacked up but that sucker is stuck on there. It won't budge at all, I dont wanna dent the rim hittin it with a hammer.

Probably just corrosion between the wheel and the mating surface. Just thread on of the nuts back on 3 or 4 turns then try kicking the tire from the outside. If that doesn't seem to work. You can use a sledge on the inside but don't hit the rim, just hit the tire. Make sure you have the truck on jack stands on both sides. Thats a lot of tonnage coming down if something was to give. If that doesn't work take it to a tire shop and see if they guys there can get it off for ya.
