Re: tire problems
If this is an April Fool's day joke it came one day early. lol You've got to jack the car up before the wheel will come off!

Re: tire problems
I've never heard of a person not being able to get a wheel off. My only guess is that it is rusted to the brake rotor. I would say get a big hammer and give it a good whack at the bottom of the wheel, but I don't want you to bend the rim. Sorry about the April Fool's thing. I thought you were trying to put one over on us.

Re: tire problems
Ive worked at a tire place for 3 years now. This is a very common problem. Its going to be similar to what he said but make sure its a rubber hammer so there is no damage done to the wheel. It is corrosion built up on the hub where the wheel makes contact with it. As long as its a rubber hammer you should be good. Even if it takes alot of power and quite a few whacks, just hang in there it WILL come off lol.
