Actually, I still had the car up on jackstands, so the springs were at full droop--the wheels weren't touching the ground. I tried moving my floor jack and lifting up either side of the axle to see if I could squeeze the wheel out. I figured putting the axle at different angles might give me the additional room I needed. Actually, I ended up pulling off a lot of the Bondo that was already packed onto the fender...So, now I have to fix that....AND, I still couldn't get the wheel off! I guess I'll try the air shock suggestion. Can anybody suggest a good vendor for these? Kanter?

Thanks guys!!
