treblet Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Give them a good whack at opposite sides, they'll eventually come off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunsprules Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Tried that for an hour last night :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 That's pretty much the only way bud, use a bigger hammer and a block of wood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Big rubber mallet, inside edge top and bottom. Make sure the car is secure on whatever is holding it aloft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Sprocket Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Steel or alloy?You could try gentle heat from a hot air gun.WS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunsprules Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Think I'm going to borrow a ramp with jack, dont care about the wheels anymore LOL they can go die so any technic will do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt123roll Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Get your car onto a ramp (assuming you can move it) and get a big ****ing sledge hammer onto them from under the car they should soon come off or as mentioned heat them with a blowtorch and then hit them. Avoid fuel lines etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaunsprules Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Sounds like a plan! I'll be on that soon ish, they move just tyre has split from age sooo needs replacing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 get the offending corner stood on an axle stand, and stuff a scissor/suicide jack between the inside of the arch and the wheel lip, just keep winding slowly until you hear a large bang.

shaunsprules Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 get the offending corner...........corners lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashh Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 As said all u can do is beat it... not sure how much i'd trust the jack in the wheel arch idea but hey ho, not my car lol.When u refit them might be worth giving the centre bore a quick sand with some fairly rough grit paper. If the wheels are sprayed it'll be the excess paint on the bore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad1992 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 SLEDGE HAMMER, thats what the tyre place next to my house did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 once they're off, copper grease the centre nut and hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 How long have they been on for? Surely they havent stuck on if you were just test fitting them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 ^^ I'm assuming possibly WV wheels with a slightly undersize centre bore, squeezed onto to hub when bolts were tightened.You could raise the rear on stands, put a couple of bits of 2x2 with the jack between them between the back wheels and "raise the jack". Push the wheel bottoms off. See my rudimentary diag. below... ||___Jack___|| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesTdi Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 This is fantastic, love how some people can be so silly!Take bolts off, find a clear road, build up speed, slam on, brace and watch 4 wheels roll past you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaunsprules Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) I did try and draw somthing but I fail'd :'(That's what it will be like Edited May 16, 2012 by shaunsprules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesTdi Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Cool yo, on a serious note. Try unbolting one wheel at a time and breaking, will loosen the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 You could also jack one wheel 'til it's just clear of the ground.Brace a jack against the wheel on the ground put a piece of 2x2 in between and wind jack. Should displace the wheel from the hub. Replace 'proper' wheel and then repeat for other side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 This is exactly what I was saying, our man here is just a little better at explaining than myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
