The "ancient wisdom" used to be to spray PBBlaster around the inner
rim (which is where the binding occurs) and then beat vigorously in
between the studs with a ball-pein hammer.  I might also give an
occasional moderate whack with a mallet at the outer edge to see if
it's ready to move.  Once it moves at all, it will wiggle off fairly
readily.  I also clean the inner rim and hub carefully of rust, and
use a bit of antiseize  to keep the rust at bay.
