I've not heard that way before - I shall try that one next time.
But I agree, they can be an absolute bugger to get the wheels off when really stuck.
I resorted once on a trailer taking the bolts out and ramming the trailer into a kerb.... it originally kept coming off the axle stands when I hit it with a hammer
