Rims stuck on?
Hmm Well yesterday i was really board so.. I really wanted to clean my car i took of the left front wheel put my spare on. After i was done cleaning it i put the orig wheel back on. But when i was going to take off the other rims they seem stuck on really tight.. I tried the other three wheels front right, Rear left , Rear right, i took the bolts off but the wheel just will not pop off..

Any ideas? Hmm

Thanks

Hope this helps:
You can spray some WD40 around the hub thru back of wheels then put you feet on the left and right side of tire..... wiggle away

There are other methods of forcing to take them off but sometime this is the best just to get it loose from hub. Then slowly take of with hands

kick the tire or hit it with a large hammer in a few different places. be careful not to let it drop off completely- you don't want to damage the face of the wheel.

Just kind of have to kick them a little to get them loose since they have probably been on there for a while.

Like everyone else said, either kick the tires until they get loose, or CAREFULLY (without putting yourself under the car) beat the hell out of them from behind with a rubber hammer. Never pull on the tire, you can knock the car off the jack.

i'm not sure if they would or not- but i have damaged the face of another wheel on another car when i was rolling it through the shop and it fell on it's face. since then- i have been careful of that, no matter what wheel it was or what car it was for. one of those things that was burned into my mind

Try using a little PBlaster on the joint between the wheel and hub. That might loosen things up and enable you to pull off the wheel.

Deadblow or rubber hammer, from the backside, on the wheel. Also screw one lug nut back on a few threads, that will prevent the wheel from falling freely off the car and risking damage to the face of the wheel.

The problem I found with the control arm is that there is only one flat place on it and at that point, the metal comes into contact with the jack only at one tiny piece. Isn't this too much pressure for such a small area?
