CL600 Wheel removal???HELP

I posted this on the wheel tech thread too but not much luck.

I have a flat tire and I cant seem to get the wheel off the car. I loosened and removed all 5 bolts but I cant get the wheel to break free from the car. Is it like normal cars where it should just pull off or is there something special that needs to be done? Sorry for the ignorant question but this is my first time and the manual doesn't say anything other than loosen the bolts and insert the alignment pin. Is there something else that needs to be done? I don't want to mess anything up.

Thanks for the help.

It's probably just stuck on, first make sure the car is on jack stands and a sturdy jack, then give the wheel a few kicks.

If that does not work, lower the car gently, with the wheel bolts removed, and you will find that the wheel becomes loose from the pressure of the weight of the car.
I use a small hydraulic jack, and it works fine.....
