tried to get a front wheel off,it was stuck solid. I fannied about tapped it all over but it wouldnt budge.
Any tips any tricks ?
jack car off the ground not too high make sure if safe to lie under car, use a lump hammer and block of wood to protect inside rim and go around rim and hit it like a ba*tard,no tapping. (turning wheel as you go!).
put a piece of old carpet on the ground just in case wheel jumps off to save alloy from damage.
clean both surfaces and smear with copper slip grease,so next time you wont have to fanny about.
Loosen wheel nuts and drop off jack, or just drive a meter, don't loosen the nuts too much, just a turn off fully tight so it breaks the rust seal,
Use more copper grease when you put it back on lol.
