can't remove wheels, stuck!
I am trying to remove the wheels to install my leveling kit and they will not come off. I have tried hitting the back of the wheel with a rubber mallot and prying with a board and nothing. Are they corroded on?? Any thoughts. I took the center cap off and soaked it in liquid wrench and now I'm waiting.

Re: can't remove wheels, stuck!
They can stick on there pretty good. I would horse kick them on the ends and see if they dont break free. I bet mud and junk as seized them on.

Are you going to install the leveling kit yourself?

Re: can't remove wheels, stuck!
How hard is it to get the spindle off the upper arm? Did everyone just hit it off with a hammer? Is there any hope of getting the nut off without an impact? thanks

Re: can't remove wheels, stuck!
You've done everything right so far. The hubs rust and the damned wheels get stuck tight. There is not enough clearance between the hub and the wheel to be able put pressure on one side of the tire and use leverage to break it free (which means the horse-kick probably won't work). I have a big two-jaw puller and that is the best solution. If you can't borrow one then fork out the $50 for the install and let them deal with it - that is a steal. I put a thin coat of anti-seize on that part of the hub when I rotate the tires. I would hate to have a flat and not be able to get the wheel off by the side of the road.

Re: can't remove wheels, stuck!
If you kick the bottom left and right of the tire, it will bust free. Just man up on it and kick the crap out of it.

Re: can't remove wheels, stuck!
Jeezuz, you guys are asking him to do work. Here's the easy way:
Remove lugs Get in truck Start up truck Drive truck 35 mph Slam on brakes Voila! Enjoy your newly removed wheels. Seriously, though, a good donkey kick should do it. Andrew

Re: can't remove wheels, stuck!
You just need to get pissed off and have that fire light inside you, then kick the $hit out of it- it WILL come off.
