Kymco Sento 50 Rear Wheel Removal

[biddlemass]

Any advice on how to get the rear wheel off of a Kymco Sento 50?

I got the axel nut off, but now the metal part of the wheel that the tire physically sits on will not come off, so I can't get the new tire on.

Am I missing something? If not, any advice?

Are you saying that the wheel won't come off the spline shaft that it is bolted to?  If that is the case I found on my GV250 that I had to lean the scoot on it's side and spay in wd40 lube to free it up.  Once I got it off I applied grease or anti-seize and future tire changes were a snap.  But the factory tire (first change) is rough because no grease is used at the factory and the splines rust.
