Default Help, my wheel won't come off!!!!!

I'm painting my brake calipers, and for whatever reason, I cannot remove the driver's side rear wheel. Every other wheel came off, but this ones really stuck, like it's glued onto the hub. Any ideas?

make sure you have the car jacked up high enough so you can get clearance between the ground and your tire.
