Default Need help removing hub centric ring

Anyone give me some tips to remove this ring? Theres rust build up and the ring is impossible to take off right now. I need to take it off to put the oem wheels back on. Tried spraying WD40 like crazy.

Thanks

go to home depot pick up a can of I think its called PB blaster? its very strong stuff that breaks rust apart try that out and see if it'll help spray that sucker on and let it sit for a few minutes. it should do the trick if not you're gonna need to use screw driver and hammer like AJ said good luck

tap the wheel housing with a hammer, the vibration usually knocks it loose and some pb blaster will help it.
