Black ITR Guy Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 my first thought was rubber mallet but u said u used a hammer. i would hate to say if but heat it if the heat wont ruin anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1647545498 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 keep working at it. rubber mallet, kick it some more. Heat the wheel some how? have the lugs on but not tight and drive down the street and back? I wouldn't recommend the last part but should break it free.

Black ITR Guy Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 i have seen a torpedo heater or a something like that used just aimed it at the tire and keep hitting it with a rubber mallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tindall2006 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 4wd truck, 4 low, long chain. Well... I guess you want to drive this again... Get a bigger hammer and keep at it! can you get a pry bar behind the wheel spokes? Maybe try tapping it from behind or tieing a rope to it and pulling on it some? You could probably get better leverage this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I've had to spray PB blaster into the wheel area before to get them loose. Its amazing the difference it makes on things like that. I was once bashing the tire on my corolla with a sledge and couldn't get the wheel off. Sprayed it and it popped off in a couple hits with my 2.5lb hammer. I agree with loosing the lugs a bit and driving it also. That could work quite well. Just don't loosen them more than a few turns or you'll mess up the studs when the tire pops loose. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 hit with big hammer turn 45 and repeat! BFH, they all come off eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 +1 on loosening the lugs. just back them out 2-3 turns (NOT far and NOT fast) and back up a few feet, and then go back forward. should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 put a big prybar between the steering knuckle and the inside lip of the wheel and give it a good hard pop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonkiller Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Probally lots of corrosion between the rotor and wheel. Typical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
