182 Cup Wheels

[Matt-16v]

This could be a helpful thread or just a thread of pure fail.

I went to take my wheels off the 182 today ( cup wheels ), undone the 4 wheel nuts and the wheel still didnt come off. I noticed there is a nut in the centre of the wheel, just behind the centre cap, do I have to undo that too Lmao, I didnt have the right tool so I didnt try...

I did a search but i failed at that too..

Sorry not the most mechanical minded .

lol, no don't udue that, just give it kick or to, sound like abit of bymetalic(sp) corossion due to lack of grease.

Just the four wheel nuts, give the wheel a bit of a wiggle it'll be stuck on.

Just the 4 bolts mate. Sometimes the wheels get stuck on good and proper. You might need to give it a kick, just have someone else there to catch the wheel. Try kicking from under the car. It will come loose eventually

Make sure its on axle stand though as the renault jack probably wont do so well under all the rocking.

 

[Matt-16v]

Ahh right! I did jig it about quite alot and it really wasn't moving. Might have to lubricate it with something before hand! Thanks for your replys

 

[Jonny1*2]

Doubt lubing would help much. Best thing to do to stop them doing it again is a bit of copper grease when you replace the wheel.

ahh ok! If it wasn't for CS my car would now be in pieces across the driveway lol

Mine did this the other day, not the wisest option but i resorted to undoing the bolts a few threads and driving my car up the road came back, the bolts had tightened up, undid them and pop the wheel was off =]

How to fcuk your wheel up and potentially your hub .

If any wheel is stuck on it'll be stuck on with s**t and rust . As advised above , a good hard kick should shift it . If you can't kick it hard enough get a man to do it for you
