Default Wheel is STUCK



My left rear wheel is actually f'ing STUCK to the damn hub! Nothing is bent, the wheel isn't getting hung up, this mother f'er will not BUDGE. I'm starting to notice some funny things about my car (I'll explain this when I'm done with court) and I'm looking for ideas to get this wheel off....</P>


I even went as far as a screw driver &amp; hammer to try prying it off the hub and that failed, I even dropped the car back onto the pavement hoping to break the wheel loose and that failed too.. Ideas????????</P>

I have this problem sometimes. All you need is a rubber mallet. And hit the wheel off center a couple of times. it should come right off. Don't me why it getts stuck there, I don't have a clue.

I managed to get the rears off, but it was a major fight. The mallot didn't do jack. I literally had to bear hug the wheel and pull with enough force to s**t out a brick!!</P>


I have never seen such a thing, ever!!</P>

I was grunting like I was getting a pine cone stuffed up my *** trying to yank that wheel off man! That was the most ridiculous problem I've EVER run into working on a car, and I've built 6 DirtModified cars myself!! </P>
