URGENT - Wheel stuck on

[Sib]

Guy's, been trying for 30 mins and getting frustrated.
Jacked up car
Loosened bolts
but wheel wont come off?

Tried kicking it from both ends, levering with a crowbar braced against the caliper and nothing will budge it.

All the other 3 wheels came off after two kicks.

Any ideas, gonna wait till caliper paint dries then give it some hard driving to heat it up and see if that helps.

if the wheel nuts werent done up tight, it may have cold welded.

 

[Fred@BTM]

stop being a softlad and KICK it!!!

sit on yer arse facing the wheel, legs "a kimbo" and ave it!

 

[kully]

i remember seeing down the tyre place one similar ....he got the wooden hammer and was really going for it before it came off ......

 

[Sib]

Ok thanks for the tips, i now need a new bumper, disk and caliper, not to mention my wheel hit a granny and killed her.

Lol

 

[kully]

^^^^thats not funny :S

Put a decent thickness and length of timber against the inside of the wheel/tyre covering as bigger area as possible and hit it with a mallet, spin the wheel slightly and repeat till it loosens

 

[Sib]

Cheers Rich, that will be next on the list.

WD40 might work too just clean the discs off afterwards if you spray a bit on them.

i have removed "the not so good ideas"

I had one stuck on once.

I put a piece of 4x2 up against the back of the rim and wound the car jack up between it and another piece of wood resting on the bottom of the sub frame.

Just go easy though !!!

don't f**k about get a copper/hide hammer lay underneath and t**t it off! hit the inside of the tyre first if that don't work you'll have to hit the inside of the wheel rim. use the hide end first if that don't work you'll have to use the copper side and take a chance

Yea we got big mallets in work which are plastic but with lead weights inside these soon get the wheels off.

 

[jimbo666]

^ a deadweight hammer

 

[lemonnobby]

Yea couldn't think of the name with it being a sunday im half asleep.

 

[jimbo666]

lol, i only just managed it

 

[TomTom]

PMSL, kicking it? Butchers. All you girls must have tweeny hands, just give it a bash with your palm, turn it then bash it again, repeat.

 

[lemonnobby]

Karate kick, Tom do you do the palm thing with RX4s though?

 

[jimbo666]

jeeezz karate kick? its all about a spin kick

 

[TomTom]

Karate kick, Tom do you do the palm thing with RX4s though?

Flying kick? Yeah usuaully, I've got sort of hay bale sized hands though lol.

Slowly lower it back down to the ground (the jack still supporting some of the weight of the car, dont drop it god no) and the weight of the car and the ground should break the seal slightly.

You sprayed lots of wd40 on it also mate?

 

[Sib]

Went to see the dude at National tyres and he let me loose with his tools.

Got it on a good jack, then used and BIG rubber hammer to smack it about, came of after a few hits but was propper welded.

Coppersliped it all up and painted caliper back at home. Jobs a good un

 

[benji&eka]

should'nt use copaslip on hub faces or wheel nuts, it hold off the torque figure. use light engine oil

 

[TomTom]

Benji do you mean the mating face between the hub/disc or the disc/wheel?

 

[pinky]

you should buy some sprigit rings for next time, they dont get stuck on then. well i think their called that.

 

[Sib]

Got them, the alloys came with them, and they only really help you marry the wheel to the hub.

Copper grease is what I did get, just a wee bit where the welds were

 

[pinky]

copper grease is cool, it stop my breaks squeekin!

like ya dash reading! i got my car on the 6/6/06 at 6pm!

 

[Batman]

f*cking smack it mwahhhhhhhhhh!
