I've done this procedure without any probs.

No studs were killed during the course of this movement.

Slow is the keyword here.

The car in question was weaved like one would do a warm up lap for a F1/V8S type race.

^^^^^my chosen method;)

When you do get them off, try and change your rims over every couple of months or so, even if you don't need to. It will avoid this problem happening again, also gives you a chance to give everything behind there a proper clean.

hmm having said that i haven't had my muddies on steels on for about 4 months .....must be turning into a townie :( :D

Yeah, I think it has a lot to do with mud and grit getting into the spiggot area on the hub causing the wheel to lock on. Mine have always jiggled off though. It's probably good practice to clean the spiggot with a brush and particularly at the very bottom where it meets the wheel mating surface.

how long you gonna be in sydney for.....?
