Hi and thanks for your reply.

Well, I guess I didn't the state it very well.

I'm able to get the lug bolts out, and release the tire that's attached to it from the hub.

My problem is, even after having taken off the skirt, there is not enough clearance to get the tire/wheel out of the wheel well. It is hanging up somewhere (and I ran out of daylight so I'm not sure exactly where), but I think it's hanging up because there's not enough clearance between the inside edge of the Fender and the end of the axle. I am guessing that what others have suggested, namely, that instead of jacking up the back end and resting the axles on jack stands, that I should put the jack stands under the frame and rest the vehicle on the jack stands using the frame, thereby allowing the axle to lower enough to get the wheel/tire out of the wheel well.
