I can't get my damn wheel off!
Anyone ever had this problem? For one of my back tires, I jacked it up, removed all the lug nuts, and the thing is rusted the hell on or something. Sprayed liquid wrench on it, waited a while, tugged a little more, and nothing!
This ever happen to anyone? If so how the hell did you get it off? :X
Thanks

Get a rubber mallet or a small sledgehammer (5lbs) and hit it from the back side...Do not hit the metal part of the wheel with the sledge only the tire. Rubber mallet is what I used on mine. You might want to check out your wheel bearing on that wheel as well... Mine was stuck cause the wheel bearing was bad and getting hot and swelling the hub.

Thanks. I did manage to get it off, but had no rubber mallet, so I had to improvise, with my foot. I kicked it a couple hundred times for about ten minutes, and it finally popped the hell off :P
