Stuck Wheel !
 

Intended on switching to spare rims / PS2's for the winter today and spent about a fookin hour tring to free the wheel up (yes....I did take the nuts out fookers)...

Its the front one I had recently painted which may have something to do with it....

Put the might of my bulk (no jokes) behind it and the fooker wont budge....next step is a sledgehammer....

Any advice from the site Sages ??

Cups for another few days and off to Elite on Thurs if no sensible answers :hahaha:

Whilst on the subject.....while tyres have been off the car (6 months), one of them has lost c. 5-6 psi (now 24)...normal or v.slow puncture ?

Task it out for a spirited run and get it warm (make sure nuts tightened first) and then try to remove whilst still hot
As for psi, probably a slow puncture or loosing ari between tyre and rim if not mounted properly, or valve leaking.

I'm in a bit this week if you need some help getting wheel off.....I have a big sledge hammer :)

Make sure jack is very secure - rubber mallet on in side of wheel rim, rotate 90 degrees and same again, repeat with increasing levels of violence until off.

Thx Guys. Shim, if you're about on Thursday, may stop by for a morning cuppa ?

In fact, per previous offer, I may leave the spare rime at yours mate save the agg from missus as they sit in the corner of the front room :hahaha::thumbs:

I'm in Thursda morning def, and spare set no worries mate, seriously. :thumbs:

I found Bealos 4x Saab wheel bags so you can have them if you want :hahaha:

Ta mate - I'll bell you Wed :thumbs:

I'll contribute to Bealo's ladyboy fund :gayfight:

Bealos says deposits all welcomed apparently :)

Ian , no fookin about we a toffee ammer, wallop the wheel on the tyre, thats the black rubbery bit, at the bottom save missing we sledge and wacking wing ! ... seriously, that will come off then, dont belt the rim obviously, alternatively, stick a lump of wood against the tyre first and wallop that !:thumbs:

Remember to leave a couple of nuts on loosely, in case it does com free..

^^^+1

secure the car w/jackstands and a jack and pretend you're kicking Ashleigh Cole's face and if the wheel comes off you get to spend a night w/Cheryl Tweedy

you arent allowed on one of our Euro trips :smokin:

a bit of copper slip on the hub / wheel before fitting, we didnt have any when we fitted them at the track day but I didnt expect you would keep them on for such a long period ;)

cupitus.......or lazyitus on my part mate.

The second one for sure.:whistle:;)

cheeky fooker :hahaha:

We use rubber mallet, on the back of rim not the front, and hit the rim not the tyre, as the tyre will just absorb the impact. :clown:
