Re: Rusted Wheel Question

What if you don't want to spend hours with penetrating oil and a BFH? Just put your lug nuts on finger tight, lower the vehicle back down and slowly drive forward and back a few times and hit the brakes. This will break it loose.

I've never had to try this personally but know others who have. If your vehicle receives one or two wheel rotations a year (like it should if it's driven average miles) the wheels usually won't have a chance to rust/freeze on like that.
