Default Rusted wheel to spindle

I purchased a 1990 used Chrysler Imperial. Car sat for a while and the front wheels rusted to the spindle hub. Broke off 4 of the five studs as they were rusted so bad they broke while un-loosening. 2 were broken off before I got the car.

What is the best way to remove a wheel rusted to the spindle hub?

Thanks

Default RE: Rusted wheel to spindle

OK guys, Haven't had any response so far. Heres what I did. Used Heat from a mini oxy/mapp gas tourch. Heard a cople pops but still couldn't get it off. Used blaster pennatrating oil, Beat it with a rubber hammer. Still wouldn't come off. Then I got out my 3 finger wheel puller. It was big enough to put fingers in the holes of the chrysler rim. Turned the screw on it, Heard a couple pops and off came the wheel. Of course I think the heat and oil helped, but in the end it was the wheel puller.
