Wheel removal

[arjunior45]

I tried to remove the front right wheel today and it is still there!
I mount the 15" Speedline and any suggestion will be appreciated!
How can I prevent it from happening again?

Kick the tire (NOT wheel) with your foot as hard as you can and it will go off (it's like in football :D )... the vibrations from the tire loosen the rusted/corroded wheel...

Some grease around central hole or around stud will help to prevent it being stuck in the future ;)

Also happened to me once...so try this way: lift the car and - while you are slightly spinning the wheel - hit the tire (inside) with the rubber hammer.

Also had the same :roll:

My solution, as this one was VERY tight, was to use a block of wood to protect the inside of the tyre...and then belt the hell out of it whilst turning the wheel a little for each hit.

Took me about 15 minutes!!!

Rub the inside down, where it fits the hub and then copper-grease the mating surfaces as Mindus said.

Thanks guys.

I almost through the car off the jack yesterday kicking the tire and did not managed anything! I'll try the 'tire - shop'!

Thanks for the copper-grease advice.
