Default Taking wheels/tires off of the Mini Slider

Guys,
I need to open up the transmission case since it's making a weird sound when the car is being driven. However, for the life of me, I can't figure out how the rear wheel/tire sits on the axle. Any ideas on how to proceed?
Thanks.

If it is really tight coming off....try this put nut back on axle (few turns...make sure its loose) then hold the nut with the t wrench or nut driver and pull the wheel off...this takes the pressure of removal off the other components in the gear box. you can even hammer it off using the nut driver....hold the wheel and the nutdriver and in a downward motion tap the nutdriver on a work bench (hard surface) and it will come off....

Thanks Slimjim and bermbuster. That was very useful. The wheel was stuck tight and took some force to yank it. Never seen wheels cling so tight to the nuts.
