Yes I know this is probably one of the dumbest things ever said on these boards, but for some reason I can't get my wheels off. I took all 5 bolts off and the back wheel still will not budge.

Any idea of what else I need to do to remove it? Sorry if this has been asked but I tried searching and I couldn't come up with anything. I'm just a noob so please be kinda nice lmao.

 

is it still on the ground?

 

Nope it was jacked up yet it would not budge.

 

Give the bottom of the rear wheel a good kick.

 

That was just pure evil!

 

haha, well he said he was a noob, so i just had to make sure

Funny as ****!

 

All fun and pun aside - it happens because the brake rotors rust and stick to the wheels. I had a flat tire few month ago and faced the same issue. There is no amount of kicking even Chuck Norris can do to dislodge those wheels. I put back the bolts but did not tighten (left few mm space to the wheel). I put a large piece of concrete, about 4 inches high, next to the tire and I drove on it. I then drove off it so the car weight droping bangs the wheel loose. It took 3-4 tries, that how stuck my rear wheel was.
I do not recommend or endorse the procedure - I could have broke the wheel lugs, but I was desperate enough not to care about the $200 bill to replace those if broke...
I'll work on my brakes after I get the dealer to take the wheels off at my next tire change. In your case, go rotate tires at some cheap garage and let them deal with it.
After you get them off, clean both wheel and rotors, then apply some antiseize grease in areas they have contact.

 

the best thing to do is to kick it once from the front and then hit the backside with a rubber mallet, front kick, mallet to the back, etc. until the wheel comes off

 

Alright, thanks for all the help and the cracks at me lmao.

I was actually going to try and kick it out but that really didnt seem like the smartest thing to do, guess that shows how much I know. Thanks again guys!

 

you coming to the next monthly meet? or any of the stuff going on between now and then?

 

Im actually going to try and make it hopefully to the monthly meet next time.

 

do it. what color car?

 

Once you get the lugnuts off, just lower the jack and put the wheel back on the ground. The weight of the car might be enough to loosen the wheel from the rusted hub. Push up and down on the corner to help loosen it.

 

Loosen the lug nuts and go drive around slowly in an empty parking lot, it will break them loose.

 

Thats F'ed up man. LOL What if someone really did that!!! LMAO

 

he said LOOSEN, not REMOVE.

And thanks again, going to try and put the new wheels and tires on now.

 

Do not under any cicumstance perform any of the procedures in this thread with a Sunlight Silver...
