SRK Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 You may have corrosion locking the wheel flange to the hub. Take a large rubber hammer, or a piece of 4x4 fence post, and whack the outer sidewall of the tire inwards to tilt the flange. It should pop off quickly.

Usually what I do is put one lug nut back on a few threads, and give the sidewall a good kick. Most of the time this works. If not, bust out the big hammer. Just try not to hit the rim if it isn't rubber Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
