Usually i,

Remove bolts,
Kick it
Kick it some more
Go inside for tea as my foot hurts
Come back out, kick it some more
Hit it with the wrench as they are standard gti alloys
Hit it, kick it, f n blind some more
then grab it and in true hulk style pull like you never pulled before and go flying backwards onto the ground with a wheel on my lap.

Try that ;)

Copper mallet and a plank of wood works nicely.

mallet and plank of wood. Hit the top, then the bottom, then top, bottom, top, bottom and so on and so forth. Keep hitting it until it eventually loosens up.
