ok, its been a very late night, now 9 am. me and my friend dave decided to get stoned and i can't get the wheels off. Now maybe i'm missing something very odd here or this is the matrix.

I took off all 4 lugs, and the wheel did'nt/would'nt come off. Lots of rust on the inner part that rest againts the hub. I could turn the wheel and the axle would move. I don't have to remove the axle bolt do i.. To take off the bloody rim... what is this madness i tell you.

btw, stock 13 steelies(sold him my azenis with rims cheap) mmm.. but yea the ****** would'nt budge, any help would be great. Also is thier an type of washer on the oil pan.. its leaking a little and has a c type clip on it. thanks guys

try hitting or kicking the very top part of the tire. Ive found this helps loosen the wheel.


Are you asking if there is a washer for the drain bolt on the oil pan, because if so, then yes there is.

i know thier is a very little thin one, but this is hudge, like... say 25% as wide as the nut itself

No, don't have to remove the c-clip or axle / bearing bolts. Your steelies are just rusted to the hub, it's pretty common. Get a sledge (I have a short handle 5lb that works well) and some penetrating lube (PB blaster, baby.)

Spray the lube around where the hub meets the wheel. Wait a few, tap lightly with the hammer around that area, repeat. Now, hit the hammer around the outer edge of the rim at alternating locations (12:00, 6:00, 3:00, 9:00) Place a block of wood over where you're hitting, if you're worried about damage to the rim. You'll have to hit it pretty hard to break it loose. Eventually it'll break, and if someone's there with you, i've found it may help if they wiggle the tire a little while you're hitting it once it starts to get loose.

To keep this from happening, I use bearing grease or other high temp / pressure grease around the inside of the rim where it meets the hub, and on the outside of the hub. Haven't had a wheel stick yet after that.

You could do all that ^^^ or you could just kick the rim a couple times and stop being a girl .

Yeah, just lay down on your back and start kicking the **** out of the wheel.

Make sure you have good jackstands though. You could always use a rubber mallet if you don't want to use a sledge.

nice.. i hope this works.

lmao, I've done this before.. it's very effective
use this method and some penetrating lube, you'll be done in no time(lube is optional)

B_CRUZ!

BFH - big ******* hammer.

once i had to change a tire for an old lady and it was very rusted on. i kicked it like 20+ times, then it finally popped off. when it pops it can make a noud noise.

Like they all said...kick one side on the wheel then kick the other keep rotating every couple of kicks you should get it. We used to take turns in autoshop, it was alot of fun.

not to sound like captain obvious or anything, but i hope that the entire wheel is off the ground... completely...

Yep, had to use it many times at Wal Mart getting peoples old rusted steelies off the car. Just leave one or two lugs on loose then whack the hell out of the back bottom of the tire.

BFH's always come in handy in situations like this
