The rear wheels are stuck after I got the lugs off. What to do? Beat them with a hammer or something? Can mud get in there and make them stick to the axle? I just had them off a couple months ago.

Give them a few swift kicks with you heel or hit the tire with a heavy hammer and thats the tire. Not the Rim!!
 
You are okay to hit the rim IF you have a dead blow hammer. And, you shouldn't have to hit it very hard. Just a good sharp strike and it should pop free.
 
Cool, I'll pick up some PB stuff in the morning and get back at it. Putting some Swamp Lites on tomorrow (hopefully)!
 
I might have to pick up a dead blow. I have a rubber mallet, but its kinda little.
 
I use them for cars at work all the time. But, we are talkin bigger, thicker rims. But, like I said, no need to beat the hell outta it. Usually a good sharp whack and they pop free.
 
Lol, went outside with a flashlight and the rubber mallet after having been drinking a couple beers. Pounded the inside of the tires...the wheels literally fell off after 3 or 4 hits each on the tires, not even the rims! Took almost no effort at all! LMAO

Swamplites will be on tomorrow and they look so sweet! The UPS guy just rolled them out of his truck to me earlier. "Here ya go buddy, have fun!"
