hi i was trying to rotate my tires but the wheels were stubborn and did not want to come off. i heard if u wack the back of the wheel it will come off but not successful. wat else can be done to take off my rear wheels? i even tried kicking it like i do to the front but that only makes my wheel bounce up and down.

its a little on the dangerious side, but if they dont come off.
put the lugs nuts on real loose. then drive the car around for a couple of feet at slow speeds. That should losen them up. This post has been edited by Hanyo: Dec 29, 2007 - 6:03 AM |

That should losen them up. do not do that, its horribly unsafe even at low speed. a bump in the road, even a small one could sheer a lugstud or damage the wheel/spindle. not to mention if the lugnuts loosen themselves further and the wheel comes off! -------------------- |
