Default Wheels

OK, This is REALLY pissin' me off. EVERY time I go 2 do something with my car, it takes me 2 HOURS just 2 get the wheels off. I loosen the lugs, jack the car, and THE WHEELS DONT BUDGE. I sit there and yank and pull on the wheels, AND THEY WILL NOT COME OFF. I can even let the car down, and have the whole weight of the car on the wheels WITH NO LUGNUTS. Please tell me how 2 get my F***IN wheels off of my car.

Well, to avoid this scenario from happening ever again, try some anti-sieze on the rotor where it meets the wheel.

Now, for my advice (make sure you have a good jack for this): Basically, pulling isn't going to help. What you've got to do is take your foot, lie on the ground, and kick the tire with the sole of your foot. Do that a coupla times, and it should loosen them up enough to pull off.

after they are off, check the lug pattern, cause rims aren't supposed to fit like that :ugh:
