MrMeanGreen Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Beat on the inner area with a rubber mallet. Notice, I said rubber mallet. Not hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FBody Addict Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 i know alloy + hard metal hammer = bad already tried it six studs, maybe torch to try em to loosen em up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiG BeN Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 a nice running kick on the tire usually works for me...if not then PB Blaster around the lug area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Total Sign Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 kick it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 hose the studs and hub area down with pb blaster wait for 10 minutes or so and then start kicking that fucker as hard as you can (without hurting your foot of course) it'll come off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensan Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Loosen the lugs up and drive *slowly* around the parking lot. Don't loosen them up a lot, just enough to give it some play. The lugs will still hold the wheel on, but the weight of the car will work the wheel (it's wheel, not tire) loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_tris Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 put a lug back on one stud apply pb/wd40 kick it from the inside if you can get to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awfulcanawful Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 I'd go with putting the lugs on loose and driving slowly to work it loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Use a 2-3 feet long 4x4 piece of wood on the inside rim lip with the truck jacked up. ***no, it won't hurt the rim*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gergwheel1647545492 Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 I used to work at a dodge dealership and i remember a couple dakota rims getting stuck on like this. just get a 3-5 pund sledge and hit the back of the rim. i have done this probably 10 times and haven't hurt a rim yet. OR the driving idea sounds like it might be fun, try that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berto Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 We used sledgehammers and hit the TIRE (make sure its inflated) or lift the truck up just enough so that the tire isn't touching the ground, get a running start and slame the tire with the jack, make sure the handle doesn't hit the truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
