Hi Ray,
It must be a sign! Leave the muddies on! :)
It has done that to me in the past, a bit of WD40 and a rubber mallet always did the trick, just tap it around the inside of the wheel in different spots it will come loose.

It's all about preserving the muddies for when they are actually in mud, not much of that between Manly and Camperdown!, they have to come off!
with about 5mm play in all the nuts. I had to be a bit violent with twisting the whee. It'll definitely get em off eventually!

Right, am off to try it, will report back, that's if i don't kill the car on the way home!
That might have been me, as we had this prob with the Futura...the (front) alloy wheels wouldn't budge...Quote:

Our F250 used to do this. I put the bottle jack between the inner wheel arch (on the tray) and the tyre (with a block of wood) and started jacking.
at work......this was a common occurance with alloys on the steel hubs......a tiny bit of surface rust and they are seized on......
we used to just hit the back of the tyre outwards with a lump hammer......this used to work almost everytime.....
with the really severe cases......we would have to actually hit the rim......CAREFULLY.......
driving on loose wheels is not recommended......it can damage the rim or even snap off the studs......if the wheel doesnt fall off first......
so your intention was to get the wheels off until the wheels fell off that plan??:D;)
Best o luck ray them buggeres would bestuck on with medowie mud and that stuff sets like concreat :D:D:D:D
Tho id go the loose nut theroy but at low speeds as like tony said studs can snap i have broken plenty in the past no big rover ones tho ;););)
just jack it up and belt the bottom of the sidewall as hard as you can with the biggest knockometer that youve got while someone slowly spins the wheel it'll come off.
