Tire won't move?

bottle jack between frame rail and tire.

 

Just drove up and down st with lugs finger tight and still WONT BUDGE!

Thanks a ton for all the quick reply's

 

After four hours, and four seized wheels I won the battle with three, gave up on the last one. Any other ideas lets here them. I need to source a bottle jack.

 

How big of a hammer are you using? An 8 lb sledge against the sidewall of the tire is ideal if the wheel really stuck (be carefull of the rebound), with a steady hand to swing it of course. When you apply the anti-seize compound, only apply it to the pilot portion of the hub, not the hub face of the rotor or drum. Applying it to the face can cause loose wheels and sheared studs, and the seizing happens at the pilot area anyway.

 

wow that sure is crazy. i hope you got it off. that would royally piss me off.

at this point id try the bottle jack method.


thank god for me living in arizona. haha

 

Another good reason to get the tires rotated on a 5K schedule.

 

tires were rotated 1000 miles ago.


how long ago were they rotated?
it makes me think they didnt tighten the lugs in a star pattern or something.

 

Make sure to pick up some Never seize and put on the mating area so this wont happen again.

 

take it out on pavement, drive about 10 mph spike the brakes. may take a couple trys, make sure lugs are little tighter then fingure tight, just use 3 lugs.

 

use a long prybar from behind. If it is a front tire then pry on the rim using the ball joint as the anchor.
