Default Back wheel wont come off

As the title says the back wheel wont come off. it came time to rotate my wheels and for some reason my frigging back right wheel wont come off. I've pulled, yanked, hit.. yada yada yada and it still wont come off.

Anyone have this ever happen? Anyone have any ideas how to fix, before I break the damn thing!

Take off the lugs and jack up the car lay under the car and hit it with yout foot from underneath the car. It happens all the time to dodge wheels so I dont see why it wouldnt happen to a honda.

You guys might not like this, but my buddy had a CRX that sat in a field for 5 months over the winter. The wheels rusted to the hubs. To get them off, he lightly untightened the nuts and took it for a ride around his cul-de-sac. Made sure to turn the wheel massively hard, and each time you'd hear a *CLUNK* he just got out and tightened them up and got back in the garage, and took wheels off. Exercise extreme caution and don't drive fast when doing it. Often it just took a trip down the driveway, or coming out of it.

Taken off your journal/blog/existance on the web.

"It takes me half an hour to get the lug nuts off the front tire because the shop I took it to in order to get new tires put 'em on with air tools. I'm poor and don't have air tools. I eventually got them off."

I think you should be going to the gym with me then.

That sounds dangerous. hahaha I dont think I'm going to attempt that, I'd kill myself if I wrecked or something else happened.

Somtimes I wonder if City people should be aloud to actually join honda-tech or any other forum, there should be a test you have to take.

Step 1: Losen all the lug nuts with car on ground.
Step 2: Jack car up.
Step 3: Secure car's stability with jack stands.
Step 4: Take all lug nuts off except one.
Step 5: The one lug nut you left on, back it off until about 4-5 threads are left.
Step 6: Hit the tire with a big sludge hammer. (that is the tire not the rim)

If you think I am wrong then why do tire shops do it? Just my $1.00 worth of info, so start paying up!

Personally I pull all the lug nuts off but keep one on loosely, sit on the floor and kick the bottom edge of the tire, usually pops right off. Get a 4 way lug wrench if you are really having that much trouble removing lug nuts. Its all about leverage!

1. loosen lugs
2. jack up car
3. remove lugs
4. place jack-stands
5. spray studs and anything that makes contact with the wheel and your ride with wd40 and let sit for about a minute
6. hit tire with a hammer (remember, hit ONLY THE TIRE)

worked for me the 2 times it happened...

Exactly... I worked at a shop, and when we got heavy duty pickups coming in, the wheels were always siezed on. Just grab a BFH, hit the bottom of the tire only. You should only have to hit it once.

Banned? Does HT have a "no-gay advertisements" rule like every other one I've ever been on?

I had the same problem w/ my Wife's accord.

I wedged my spare tire jack in between the wheel (from behind of course) and the frame of my car and cranked until the wheel popped off.
