I’m trying to do a brake job on my car, but the front passenger rim is stuck to the hub. I have tried pb blaster and a hammer, but it won’t budge. I even let the jack down and the weight of the car won’t break it loose. I guess I may driving slowly with the lugs loose, but I wondered if anyone had any better tricks to try. 😕 ---

If that doesn’t work you have to hit it with a BFH from the back side. ---

kicking it doesn’t work and pb blaster is equivalent to liquid wrench. Looks like I am just going to have to beat the hell out of it. The weird thing is the car is only 1 1/2 years old and the rims were off in october. I hate winter!! ---

> _Originally posted by sonic03snake_ > **If that doesn’t work you have to hit it with a BFH from the back side.** doesnt always work… used sledge and broke chunks of rotor off before. took 3 men and a 6’ long prybar and a torch to get the damn rotor off. ---

If it is an alloy wheel put a chunk of wood against the lip of the rim. Then simply beat the shit out of it. If it’s a steel wheel, skip the wood step if you desire. They can be bitches but hammers are always better. Also make sure you take all the lug nuts off first. ---

instead of kicking it you could try to hit the bottom of the rim/tire with another rim/tire and it should knock it off, always worked for me ---

Do your first idea…leave the lugs a lil loose and move the car back and forth slowly and slam on the brakes…my bro has to do this all the time with his car. ---
