its been 36 hours he must have it off

Not sure about the 'standing on the brakes' bit 

A tried and tested technique

Just sounded scarey !

In the past, with 2 stuck rears, I've had to REMOVE all bolts, and try to get 220bhp through them. Never fails to release, though not unknown for the wheel to fall off, which is somewhat embarrassing

[mikesomega]

I have one off, but the other back one isn't moving. I worried if I force it any more, the car will fall off the stand. I've squirted WD40 all  over the wheel to hub join, so will try later when the sun cools

May`s well get a dog to lift his leg on it for all the good that`ll do. Need "Plusgas" or similar

wd40 isn't too bad if allowed to soak in. plusgas seems to be better for quicker release.

However, in this case, I think neither will do much

WD40 is a water repellant with lubricating properties, Plusgas is for removing rusted parts (attacks rust)

Oh! In the old days WD40 was used for freeing stuck things.

I will give it another go to get it off later now its cooling down although 3 cans of Carling in this sun maybe I shouldnt.

If I give up, where should I take it? Kwikfit? Vauxhall? Little Garage?

In the absence of Plusgas, try Coca Cola (no joke used to use it years ago to free anything rusted - probably shows my age!)

The only thing that works when the wheel is that badly 'corroded' to the hub is to beat it off from the back.
How you do that without damaging the wheel is up to you. Do ensure that it's properly secured on a stand before doing anything.

Agreed just be brutal yet safe

apart from loosening the wheel bolts and slamming on hard on the drive ....... 

and no possibility of damaging the back of the rim
