Be careful you don't pull the axle shaft out. It can happen. I know from
experience. You need a puller to get the wheel off. Check with a local
dealer or repair shop. They may be able to order it for you.

Something doesn't sound right. I don't remember ever having that much
trouble getting a wheel off - and I've done a few of them for salvage.
