I sound like the hugest newbie right now but for some reason my wheels wont come off. I was going to install my omni power full coilovers today on my 2000 si and I unbolted all 4 lugs on both rear wheels and neither of the wheels will come off. I pulled about as hard as I could without rippingthe caroff the jackstands. I think the wheels musthave rusted to the hubs or something. Anyone ever had this problem before?

 

we get this problem all the time at discount tire, about the only thing you can do safely is to put your back to the car and kick your foot backwards on it hard, then rotate it 1/4 turn and do it again till it pops loose. a less safe way is to get a sledge hammer and hit the side of the tire hard...not as safe cause if your not a good aim you will either hit the car or rim, or another safe way is to get one tire off...then roll it hard into the side of the others..the rummer of the tire will protect anything from getting scratched. but kicking is the most preferred option.

 

Kicking FTW! Thanks for the advice man.

 

Ive had this problem before. Put the car up on the jacks and get a rubber hammer. Hit the tire or rim from the inside out and rotate it. It will eventually loosen.

 

Yep that's the best way.

 

kick it like it stole your LUNCH MONEY!!1

 

Kicking always does it for me...

 

lol i kicked my customers wheels like crazy, once, the f250 wheel fell onto my foot.
