Did you get a heavy puller fastened to the lug bolts?
Did you pull any of the lug bolts in two?
I'd say if the answer to the second one is "no", put the puller back on
GOOD and TIGHT, tighten up the center screw until you are just short of
pulling the lug bolts in two, and then smack the center screw on the outboard
end with at least a 3# hammer, and I don't mean a light blow. We're playing
for keeps here and we don't take prisoners. After a few smacks, tighten it up
again and look for a bigger hammer. It will come off but you have to make it
want to.

ps: be sure the brake is released and adjusted in as far as possible
(unscrew the adjusting screw toward the center of the car. PBlaster
may help in this.)
