stuck wheel trick

whenever you have a wheel that is stuck after you remove the lug nuts, heres what you do.

1- put 3 lugs back on, but not all the way, at least enough to hold the nut on the stud

2- drop the truck back on the wheel

3- rock the truck side to side until it frees itself\

4- raise the truck and remove the wheel

i cant tell you the damage you can cause by prying. a dented rim or bending a bearing is not in your best interest.

work smarter not harder

excellent tip!!!

A waste of time!It will not work with aluminum rims,Aluminum rims are the worst to get off when stuck on.I have removed rims by prying the rim off with no damage,dents,bending a bearing at all.At my father's shop,he has a big sledge hammer that is named "Bertha" and used that to remove rims also with no damage at all

Blylock, I like that idea... Makes sense. When mine was stuck, I couldn't 'drop' my truck since all I had was a bottle jack. (I've since bought a heavy-duty, Sears floor jack.)

After I got my 'stuck' wheel off, I smeared some of that gray, anti-seize paste on back of rims where they contact the hub.

The anti-seize is a good idea. The metal fusing is caused by dissimilar metals reacting with each other (steel on steel is just rust :) ). There are also products to put in between your wheel and the hub to keep this from happening.
