well missus got flat tyre and decided to drive home on the rim (clap clap for her), been piss arsing about on my front for 45 mins trying to get the wheel off, it's stuck on solid. im freezing cold. Paid a pretty penny for this Kia as she "likes the look of them". It's an absolute hidious pile of junk and has been nothing but problems from day 1.

yep, its parked half on drive and half on the grass so it's rocking alot on the jack. I've WD40'd it, Rubber Malletd it, Gave it a few digs with a scaff tube, got pissed of with it, swore at it, them came inside and sat in the warm. Missus can get a taxi to work in the morning.

I had the same problem getting 2 alloys off my Astra the other week, you need to support the car so it doesnt move, then hit one side of the alloy hard with a rubber mallet, then hit the opposite side to where u just hit. keep doing it and it'll come off eventually.........and you'll keep warm too!

got it done

Got it done,
jacked it up, wd40'd it, lump of wood and hammer - it still wouldn't have it. So lowered jack down reversed the bag of shite 2 foot (tyre nearly of the rim now), jacked it back up and it came straight off.
