    Thumbs up How I got stuck rims off D2 handy hint.

    A tip to get off seized-on mags.
    Mine were stuck on when I went to change the wheel.

    Loosen the nuts slightly (NOT TILL THEY'RE ON THE END OF THEIR STUDS!! JUST A FEW MILLIMETRES OUT). Then drive the car forward or back while turning side to side. Stop and rims will have come free!

    Might get you out of trouble in the bush.

    Dave.

    Yes, I've recommended that method to a few people on the RR.net forum.

    Make sure you put some anti-seize on the hub before refitting the wheel.

    And if you thinks its a problem, add Bauxite dust to the equation

    Like Ron said apply anti-sieze or a good marine grade grease before refitting the wheel.

    You up at Gove are you, I know what that bauxite dust is like, I operated the Crusher at the mine and the primary and secondary screeners and we had to use jack hammers inside the chutes to clear them out, that was a long time ago, put through the first ore, regards Frank.
