1572 front wheel removal

Hi. Is there a trick in getting a front wheel off of a 1572 SGT? I've removed the single bolt/washer but the wheel seems to be stuck pretty tight. Appreciate any advice.

There shouldn't be anything else holding it on. It's probably just stuck.

The trick is a block of wood on the backside of the rim and a sledge hammer. A couple of hits should knock it off.

Thanks for the tip. Still stuck after a lot of effort. Can I put a torch on the hub or could that ruin the bearings?

Well, I've just removed the tire with the wheel on the tractor. Inserted a tube, which is what I needed to do, reset the tire on the wheel, and the tractor is good to go w/r to the front tires.
