Need Help with My Stock GS rims

[Streetracer0442]

Can anyone tell me how to get the Stock front rims off of a Eclipse Gs. i Took all the lug nuts off and there seems to be a pin and another nut in the very center. can anyone tell me what i need to take that nut off. my rims are the star looking ones,the car is a 95. any help is apreciated.

That center nut is your hub nut. The pin is a cotter pin. Neither needs to be removed to take your wheels off. If your wheels are stuck to the hub, take a big deadblow hammer and hit it hard on the inside of the wheel.

at least on my 95 talon I had the same problem and thought there could be something behind the center cap. There wasn't and we kinda jacked up the rim doing it. Nothing would take the wheel off except this.

Put on like 3 out of the 5 lug nuts and keep them loosely hand tightened.
Some PB blaster was put on though i don't it was neccesary.
Then let the car down, start it up, and roll it a few feet back in forth.
Lift back up and the wheel should of knocked itself loose.

It gets caught cause rust and crap sticks it right to the hub. We tried everything
imaginable including rubber hammers and all and this worked the first time.
