Thread: My wheels won't come off

If alloys be carefull not to use too much force. I would try spraying some Wirth Release Spray behind the rims and wait 30 minutes to do it's majic and try again. If steel rim you could use a 4lb hammer gently to help persuade them off.
Good luck.

my disco had the same thing with the rears. they were just stuck.had to squirt lots of panther p.... around then get under and tap the rim outwards whilst slowly turning the rim the wheel will need to come off square or it will stick. if they are alloys be very carefull how hard you hit the rim.use a rubber mallet if possible.dont rely on the jack to hold the vehicle up use chocks

Refit the nuts loosely and drive forward slowly.

Rayngie, do not run different size rubber, the centre diff will go bang. Happened to a bloke I know, was running a Volvo XC 90, very expensive.

Yeah - I was going to say similar to LoanRangie: have the nuts on loosely and use the power steering to go left and right on the spot. The twisting action should break the seal.

i tried the loose nut, turn wheel, drive backwards, forwards slowly thing, no difference.
Will try putting a spray of some kind under it,

cheers,

also before putting the wheels back on clean up the center on the hub with a bit of sand paper and I use a little bit of anti seize aswell,I have had that problem in the past

Would love to be in a position to be able to put the wheels back on!!!
