Alloy Stuck To Hub

focusrite · Mar 2nd, 2011, 18:25

Went to take back wheel off after removing bolts *STUCK FAST*! After much kicking and swearing - no movement!!!!

Had a google and found a fair few answers, from kicking, scissor jacking, rubber malleting

loosening nuts and driving round etc....

The car was on the jack, could I be arsed to do any of the above? No! The missus boiled the kettle and we poured the boiling water over the affected area, waited 30 seconds and I kicked the tyre at the 12 o'clock position and voila! Wheel falls off.

Hope that helps someone else.

A good time to buy copper spray and spray it on hub.

Can't you tell that it's out of style? Should I get a set of white wall tires? Are you gonna cruise the miracle mile?
