Spray the center with WD40 or some other type of penetrating oil and hit on the back side with a small sledge hammer. You can put a block of wood against the wheel so that you don't dent the rim. If they are aluminum rims, don't hit too hard or they will crack. Another way is to have the car on the ground and back the lug nuts out a couple of turns and rock the car side to side. This will sometimes loosen the rim. After you get it off, run a file around the center whole just a bit to prevent it happening the next time.

How do you remove the back wheel on a simplicity ride on lawn mowee?

There is a plastic hubcap that needs removal first. Then an external snap ring needs removal. If you are luck, it will not be rusted to the axle and will slide off. There is a 2 inch long key that will either be in the wheel or the axle. Keep and eye out for it since it locks the wheel and axle together so that the machine will drive. Generally, you put the wheel on, line up the slot in the wheel to the one in the axle and put the key in.

How do you remove the rotor assembly on a 2002 Ford Expedition is it free floating?

On a 4-wheel drive it is free floating and on a 2-wheel drive you have to remove the axle nut and bearings. From what I have heard in the ford forums is the 4-wheel drive free floating can be hard to remove if they get rusted in place so be sure to have a rubber mallot on hand. I just replaced my front rotors on my 2-wheel drive and it was real easy to get off.
