Why wont my wheel come off!!!

[LudeRoca]

K so I was putting on my rims today, and all of them went on fine. When i tried taking off the front passanger tire it wouldn't come off. I sprayed WD40 and the sucker was still on there. I gave it a good kick but no luck. Anybody know whats goin on here?

Did you take the Lug Nuts off??:D


Seriously try replacing one of the nuts and hand tighten it, then turn around and give the bottom of the wheel a good swift boot with the bottom of your heel, that usually frees mine, and if that doesnt work...

Do the same kick without the lug nut...

get a rubber mallet and smack that rim hard like. make sure you have stands under the car though, thats important. you mave have to hammer on the thing pretty hard and you dont want it falling off the jack.

did you make sure to put on some anti-seize the last time you put them on?

u have to take the lugs off.....:rofl:

Had that happen to my subaru, rusted on to the hub. DON'T pull on it with both hands, so hard that your feet are off the ground... then it WILL come off.
Then your ass hurts..
anyways,
Try some WD-40 where the rim touches the hub, if not that, PB Blaster if you can get it, it works great as a rust penetrant.
If neither of those work, try kicking or hammering it.

^^ hahahaha

Thatd be pretty funni if he didnt take the lugs off lol..

But maybe the lugs are rusted on OR, the lugs were tightened the last time really tight and maybe ur not strong enough??

WD-40 does the trick or liquid wrench

rims better:D

Where can you get PB blaster in Calgary??? I've never been able to find the stuff locally at any retailers...

Alright, what I usually do is take the lug nuts off, lower the car with the lug nuts off till it breaks loose.

K well i got it off. A good boot to the tire dislodged it. And no I didn't forget to take the lugs off like some of you smart ass's out there. BUt thanks for the help guys :thumbsup:
