My wheels are stuck!

[INMYHSV]

Hi guys,

You'd think this would be easy but I can't take my wheels off! I've taken off all the nuts and the front wheels won't budge. It's like it's fused or stuck to the hub. I've tried knocking the wheel with a mallet, kicking it but it just won't budge. Anyone on the forum have any tips or ticks to get the damn wheel off? It's driving me nuts!

Once the wheel nuts are off slighy lower car back down to crack the seal

Good advise above

Yep, and when you do get em off, use a steel wire brush to clean the hubs up and then a light coating of grease on the hub will prevent it from ever happening again

If they still won't budge on the ground, shake the car also.

WD-40/Rust Buster also helps in these situations

Just take it for a drive......It'll come off lol.

Are they aftermarket wheels? Some aftermarket rims can be very difficult

Just one or both?
sounds like there tight around the hub centric .

Turn full lock a few times, both ways on ground , no jack with loose nuts not off.

DO NOT HIT THE NUT/THREADS, THEY'LL POP OUT

I remove all the nuts then start pouring boiling water behind the wheel and intermittently turning it. wiggle it between each kettle full and it'll come off. Then I used a wire brush dril bit to remove all the corrosion. I also put antisieze grease on each wheel and hub so I'm never stuck on the side of the road with a flat i can't pull off.
