Probably rusted on...wd/40 should do the trick with a little bit of man power to back it up...

bolts? :dunno

[RacermeX]

Yep, I had the same issue when I first bought my car.
They'll come off, just need a liitle more force and some lube.

[Stevefazek]

they are rusted on. PB lube or wd40 and use some man power even a rubber mallit.

Hope the car is on jack stands if not if your trying to pull a stuck tire off bye bye jack.


Oh yeah cover the Hub of the wheel with Petrol Jelly it will never get stuck again :)

Just kick one side of the tire, it should break it loose (make sure your car is VERY secure before doing this).

like i said jack stands are your freinds lol if you dont have them Buy them.

You can get a Nice jack and jackstands for like 30-40 bucks at walmart.


OR just use a large log and lower the jack to the car is sitting on the log

this worked apparently, its what i do everytime the wheels are stuck to the hub. before you put your wheels back on, get a wire brush and scrub the hubs, get all that rust and buildup off of it and your wheels will fit better and come off easier.

just kick the tire part of the wheel.

Well to take the tires off you have to deflate them first.

judging by your sense of direction (or lack thereof), i'd say you're hopeless.

uh, i'd say start by posting it in the correct forum

then, kick it it, dont be a girly-man as your father so correctly dubbed you.

wtf? It's not my tire man. I just added my experience. If you read a few posts above mine, he already resolved the problem.

Some lube, and rubber mallet should get the job done.

Also, when you put the wheels back on, put a small coat of Anti Seize on the face of the hub. This will prevent it happening in the future.

[dtmbimmer]

def rusted on.......some wd-40 and a nice kick should do it

[CarbonBlkE36]

when its seized on for me, i hold a block of wood against the back of the wheel and hit it w/ the hammer real good..............
