Removing Wheels? HELP

[KarlVP]

Did this ever get resolved?

 

[gradon]

I had to do the couple loose lugnuts forward,brake,backward,brake trick to get mine off.

I tried driving it with the lugnuts loose and hitting it with a sledge hammer and my rear tire still wont come off.

id bring it to a tire place and tell them you think you have a leak in that tire then they take it off, dunk test it for pressure, tell you no and you go on your way.

and i think most places do this for free

classic thread. too funny. roflol. To be helpful, though, spray a half can or so of penetrating oil in there. Wait a few minutes, then hit the edges of the rim with a deadblow hammer. Two handed swings if you have to. Add some heat with a torch to the area around the lugs if all else fails.

Is the wheel off the rig yet!? I'm tired of seeing the same exact tip.

You locked up the wheels when you were braking?

 

[rockjockphatts]

go out and ride your brakes, it'll heat the whole thing up, dont forget about the rears-if you drums suck use the parking brake to warm them-it doesn't take much heat to make a big difference.

it happened to the wife's car, and surprising it worked quite well!

kick the top, bottom, then get under the car and start kickin the bottom of the tire outward. If that doesn't work.... take it to a shop

Still working on it, I have some new Tips now, I was pretty busy the last couple of day and didn't have a chance to get on it again.

I will post when I get them off.

Thanks for all the help.

Get a buddy to help you and rock it back and forth with one of you and each side. I had to do beat the sh*t out of the wheels on another car...same thing, aluminum alloy and I don't think I would have gotten them off myself had I been changing them due to a flat on the road by myself. My wife would have been stuck if it happened to her.
