Help! | If all the lugs came off, but when you try to pull it off it wont come...make sure the car is secured on jacks and kick at the tire of the stuck rim at the furthest points from the center. It should loosin up and come right off. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone

Have you tried from the inside wall and kicking outwards? Other than that, all i could say is use a good penetrating substance and try pry it off. Is it really cold up there right now? You might need to heat it up a bit. __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone

Another method is to loose the wheel bolts and lower the car.
Try rocking it loose.
Next time use some anti sieze where the wheel touchs the hub.
I do that whenever I put on my snows. __________________ ...steven
