Need suggestions. I can't get my tire off.

HMUSN · April 5th, 2010, 10:25 PM

ya know at this point I would be ghetto as hell about it.

I would put up as many jack stands as I could.. try and secure the car itself to a wall with straps, and tie my winch around the tire. lol

It would come off for sure.. probably break shit in the process, but the wheel would for sure come off.

I am sorry about your luck man.

get the 2x4 and lift your ride with your jack on the subframe or under the mount under the rear differential and place the 2x4 it under the wheel vertically so that none of the wheel touches the street or pavement and then lower it slowly with all the lug nuts off just with the pressure from the weight it will break free

TheUNZippee! · April 5th, 2010, 11:07 PM

Have you sprayed the shit out of it with a good penetrating oil and let it sit?

yes i wont bend and the force you exert out with each single hit to the wheel cant compare to the weight of a 3000 lb + car just try it but lower it slowly dont do it fast and mess up things plus the 2x4 will prevent the wheel from any damage hell use two 2x4's side to side just to be safe

01GTstang11 · April 6th, 2010, 08:51 PM

well, im sure you guys don't give 2 fucks lol but I finally got it off. It was rusted on super bad. It took 2 4x4s and a massive sledgehammer with a few good blows and it popped right off. Now I am about to do it to all the wheels so I don't get stranded in the middle of nowhere and get my shit jacked.

dannyboy281 · April 6th, 2010, 10:55 PM

now to make sure that doesnt happen again sand the mounting area of the rotor and the wheel where all the rust is then i would mask up the area and the wheel and the rotor with a silver high temp rustoleum to help prevent it from happening again.

Nice job.

It's a good idea to take your rims off about once a year, maybe rotate them too if you can, so that that doesn't happen.

Good job man, glad you got off.

Uhhh....

I can't seem to fine the product at the moment, but a paper (sand paper) "spacer" can be put between the wheel and the hub to prevent rust. Or just sand/paint the area with rustoliem. (sp)

lol my pleasure

0949er · April 8th, 2010, 12:06 PM

hit a rubber mallet hammer on the inside of the tire (towards the outside)

or you can use your foot.

Some times they just get snug on there w/ a combination of dirt and heat. Kick it. Its what I had to do w/ multiple cars at tire kingdom, it will budge eventually (don't ever bring yoru car there lol)
