    You just like kicking the hell outa things dont you!! Mind you, I apply exactly the same method. It's very appropriate after two hours of trying every other way!

    On our F250s the alloy wheels stick to the hubs all the time. When I need to take the wheels off I put a bottle jack on its side between the tray tub and the tyre and start jacking . It only ever happens on the rear wheels.

    It is very strange, but Landrover (AKA The Evil Ones) were *supposed* to have checked disks and pads at the last service in June....Wonder how they did it without removing the wheels???
    There was Fraser Island sand evident when I took the nuts off and that was 12mths ago, so it appears the wheels haven't been off since before then when I rotated the tyres at 20000km.
    Once again thanks for the advice...much appreciated!

    Don't usually need to remove wheels to see pads and discs on these, and I usually give a swift heel kick to the stubborn rim and watch the offsider catch it as it sails towards the wifes Lexus parked next to it...

    Safety

    Although I'm sure you have considered this, for any "newbies" reading this please don't forget to make sure you have an axle stand holding the vehicle NOT JUST THE JACK when working on a vehicle, especially when using a little anger management on your vehicle! (At the least place your wheel under the lowest point, eg diff so if it falls off of the jack your only "pinned" not crushed

    Never get under an air suspension LR for the same reason. It could drop to the bumpstops.

    They even mention that if it's a sudden unexpected flat tyre, then take it off and apply anti-seize AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!!!

    I've found Duralac compund to be excellent and REALLY long lasting!
    Dont put copper grease or copper anti-seize on aluminium. Use Loctite ( or similar) silver or nickel anti-seize. Put it on the studs too.

    Thanks all for the advice....

    Wheels and hubs are now separated, loose nuts and a bit of hate n heat a drop down off the jack and eureka!!!! What a pain in the ort!!!

    The point I was making regarding the *service* from Landrover was in addition to normal servicing and brake inspections, I have had 2 ABS hub sensors replaced and an ABS Modulator ($5000 part!!!! thank jeebus for Warranty!).
    I know a visual inspection of the pads and disc can be done in the gaps of the wheel but with all the work done, I am amazed that the wheels were as difficult to remove as they were if, as the service manual suggests the anti-sieze compound compound was put on.
    I am a suspicious bugger, and of all the work allegedly done, I am only certain of the ABS Modulator being replaced.
