2n Wheels rusted to the hubs

Saturday, I was helping my brother with his 2N. He has one tire that is completely flat on the back. It will not hold air. His plan is to replace both oversized tires with the original size, but both rims are rusted to the hubs. We loosened all lug nuts but could not get them to budge.

I know it is usually recommended to drive the tractor in a figure eight pattern with the nuts loosened an 8th of a turn until the wheels break loose, but what do you do if you cannot get the tire to hold air to be able to do that? It is pretty tough just to move it right now. Thanks for the help in advance.
