Any suggestions? I was going to help a buddy of mine with his 90 EX and when we went to take off the passenger side tire, it won't come off!? Of course, we took the nuts off the studs... hehe, in case u r wondering.

Aparently, it's rusted on?! Any suggestions on how we can get the dang thing off without doing too much damage?

 

Get a mallad and knock it a few times. Then hopefully that'll loosen it enough to take it off.

No hammers!

 

loosen the lugs a little and turn the wheel back and forth a few times............

 

WD-40 or Free or any loosener like that. Let it set for a minute, then if you have to, try the mallet, but be easy, don't just go smashing stuff.

heh...I think carolinaaccord forget the "Break" in front of Free..

"Break Free" lubricant works wonders. Teflon based. I personally think it's better than WD-40 but if you already have WD, use it. Let is soak for 15 or so minutes.

 

It may not be rusted. It could be that they are two different metals and they bonded. I ran into this yesterday.
