I've spent about an hr this morning with a mallet & WD40 trying to get both rear wheels off but they are seized onto the hub.

Is there anything better than WD40 I could use and would a kwik fit type garage be able to remove them?

Need them off ASAP as both tyres have golf ball size bulges on the sidewall

i'll give that a try with a piece of wood up against the wheel first then take it to a garage.
