How To Remove a Wheel (12 pics)

if the nuts are not on, whats wrong with just removing the wheel by hand?

I'm guessing the title should be 'how to remove a wheel that is seized or stuck'.

Who writes the titles on Acid Cow? He/she should have a proper translator!

M0rdain,
sometimes they get really stuck. even the baseball bat barely helps them :D

pro-robber post

I've changed many tires in my time, and I've never had a problem pulling them off.

interesting, i just need to carry more most-of-the-time-useless items on my car.... NOT

I had this problem once.

I see my mistake now... I didn't want to open my fresh bottle of anal lube.

Well, ok then...

sometimes that does happen when the bolts get wet and freezes up, but to save myself from all the hassle, i just use a hair dryer.

Here where the idiots put salt on the roads to keep them from freezing, the problem with stuck wheels is comom... "rust"
But i have a 10kg plastic hammer to solve the problem, and on most of my cars i use in the wintertime i have cupperpaste on all the bults and everithing to newer have to use the hammer...

Each to their own , still a good tip,.,.,.

coool

Great

or stop being a wuss and give' er a yank

Love to live in a country where it very seldom snows.

okay

so where does the butt lube come into play here?

It happened recently to me, after removing the bolts, the tire was stuck. Just grab a heavy hammer and a strong piece of wood, place the wood stick inside the rim and give it a big hit (you have to lay down under the car so be careful), the wheel will pop out easily. Then apply some oil or grease to the screws.

crazy. not sure what the anal lube was all about, but i can see how this would work.
