Change a Tire??

I may not be the most mechanically inclined, but i was pretty sure I could change a tire...until now.

My 2001 V70 has a flat rear tire. I removed the five lugs but it isn't coming off. I took off the cap in the center but there is no bolt behind it....just a flat circle.

Is there another bolt behind that thing in the center which appears to be solidly jammed in there? I have chiseled away at that but I don't see any movement there.

What am I missing here?

Hit the edge of the tire in toward the center of the car with your hand or a rubber mallet. The wheel is probably just rusted in place and you need to break it loose.
