wheel is not coming of

**Grim Reaper** · 13-04-2007 15:56

went to the tyre place to get my new alloys on and the front 2 steelies came of fine, but the back 2 are not moving all that much

any tips on how i can try?

note - cutting the wheel off is not an option

Take the bolts out ?

Try giving them a good kicking at the top and bottom - might just have seized on the hub.

**Grim Reaper** · 13-04-2007 16:02

used a big ass hammer to smack the wheel off but still only moved a little bit

and yes the bolts are out lmao

If you have drums then try some penertrating oil

**Dom** · 13-04-2007 16:04

They may have seized onto the center of the hub. Try hitting both sides of the wheel at the same time so it comes off squarely.

Failing that leave it on a street up in Liverpool and someone will do the job for you overnight

or duck oil!

**Jack** · 13-04-2007 16:21

If you can find a bit of wood to use as a drift, give the wheel a few smacks on opposite sides to try and "walk" it off.

Or roll the car forwards with no wheel bolts then pull the handbrake on.

**ANDYRACER** · 13-04-2007 16:27

Duck oil is far better than WD40 imo.

**Pablopancake** · 13-04-2007 16:42

slacken off the nuts and go for a little drive (round the car park lmao )

**Tathan** · 13-04-2007 17:00

drop car onto floor keeping jack under, wheel will pop off probably. Or you'll break it.

loosen the screws a little bit and make several hand-brake turns. It always helps

I've had this problem and this method solved it.

**Benn** · 13-04-2007 18:42

coper slip the hubs while the wheels are off.............................

**Stonesie** · 13-04-2007 18:52

Where i used to work there was 1 occasion on a mk4 astra where we had to replace 1 of the steel wheels, it was that badly siezed on that eaven heating with oxy-acetalene wouldnt move it.... in the end it took a 25 stone bloke known as ''bull'' and a sledge hammer.

As benn says..... Copper slip those hubs, its worse with alloys.

**angryman** · 13-04-2007 19:40

Loads of WD40 where the wheel goes onto the hub and keep rocking it.

If this fails, jack up and hit from behind ie outward while turning the wheel to make the whacks even.

**660bhp** · 13-04-2007 19:44

Park up near the local Gypsy site and go off for a cup of tea - they'll have them off in seconds!

**Astraghoul** · 13-04-2007 20:40

wheel nuts out, car on floor, push like buggery from the side , ie rock it sideways (make sure you have a few planks under it to catch it when the wheels fall off tho)

**MSG** · 13-04-2007 20:51

Tye the steel wheels with ropes to a big grey hound and show him the rabbit

**MSG** · 13-04-2007 20:55

seriously get the wheel nuts on partially first taighten fully home then unthread 3 to 4 turns and then drive it over some bumpy surface having first squireted oil, WD40 etc, leaving the nuts on will not make the wheel come off completely yet it will tear away from the drum or whatever
