Help Wheel Wont come Off

[d2skates]

Ok, i started to do a routine brake pad replacement, and i can get my wheel off. All the lugs are off, and i have tried hittin it off. Now i dont know if it is rusted on there, or some wierd locking, but i can get it off please help me.

Its probably not been changed for a while and rusted onto the drum. AFter you got all the lugs off, try wiggling it around front to back and side to side, and work it off. Also try to lift it from underneath, the rim might be caught on the teeth of studs. Other than that, you can try to pry it off with a wrench or something, just stick the wrench ebtween the rim and the control arm or something else back there and push.

Ok thankyou, i have been moving it around for sometime, my dad came oever a month or so ago and he is anal about cars but must be losing it cause he said he over torgued the lugs when he took them off to inspect my car. But thank you

lay on your back and kick the tire at the most convenient place...works everytime

and be careful with overtorqueing, you will end up breaking the studs and needing to replace them. I have two broken now going to replace as soon as this rain goes away

Put the lug nuts on finger-tight, loosen a few turns and drive a very slow figure-8 in front of the house.
