Wheel Won't Come Off!!

I tryed to remove my front passenger wheel on the 240D, and it won't come off! It almost seems as though the hub has swollen and it's not allowing the wheel to slide off of it. The wheel isn't rusted to the hub, because it will wobble, but it won't come off.

I even tried taking a hammer to the backside of the wheel, but I couldn't get it to budge. Also, when I spin the wheel, it hangs up slightly at one spot in the rotation, and makes a sorta "squishy" sound. I'm assuming this means the bearing is bad. Could a bad bearing cause the hub to swell?? I need replace my brake pads ASAP, so this is kind of a problem.
