wheels stuck?
hey guys. a buddy of mine asked me to take a look at his front brakes w203 today as it threw a message on the dash.

i figured its pretty standard that front brake pad wear is occurring.

in the process of taking off his wheel, i do the standard method (loosen bolts, lift car, remove bolts) but his wheel doesnt budge. i took all the bolts off but the wheel still doesnt move. it can spin freely.

any ideas on what i should do?

i mean ive heard of rotors rusting on the hub but a wheel?

I had that happen on a Blazer I owned years ago, alloy wheel frozen on. I took it into a friends tire shop and they heated it and the wheel hub from behind with a torch (deflated the tire first of course) and it eventually came off.

It wasn't fun to watch...

Yeah this happened to me when I was changing my brake pads...it was rusted on there it seemed...a firm couple tugs and wd-40 will go a long way...if not...


Kick away...please don't kick so hard that the jack gives...
