Help!!! I can't remove my rear tire?

Can anybody help me. Am I doing some thing wrong? I can't get the rear tire off of the car. I have pulled and pulled. It's a 02 sedan

Thanks,

Roger

use the lug wrench, it wont come off unless you take off the lug nuts

okay loosen your lugs as the car is on the ground
once their loose, get a jack stick it underneath the car turn it or go up and down then it should be going up
after that take te lugs off

then the tire will come off

( oh, remember to use a lug nut wrench)

lol.. funny guyss

No but seriously, its just rusted/siezed in there. If anything, leave one lug in loosely, and either kick it from the back, or hit the TIRE (NOT RIM) with a mallet/hammer. It should come loose.

I'm gonna give the benefit of the doubt that the lugs are off and the car is off the ground. Spray liquid wrench behind the rim on the hub, and around the lugnut holes, let it sit for a little while. Put your feet on the bottom of the tire, grab the top with your hands and lean back. Make sure nothing sharp is behind you.

Just read some of your other posts. How do you think an HID retrofit is going to work out for someone who is presently being defeated by a wheel?? Know your limits, and start small. When I started reading this thread, I thought it was a joke. Wow. But yeah, just smack the hell outta the tire with a mallet or something. If that doesn't work, hit it with something bigger.

dont forget to disengage v-tecHk. tire wont come off without it....

omg people. no need for a mallet/sledge hammer/liquid wrench or whatever you use to take it off.

the bottom of your shoe is the fastest/easiest/simplest way. common sense isnt common



sorry to be rude, but this thread is just asking to get ragged on

this sound kinda dangerous cuz a huge force might cause the car to come off from the jack

Just remove all the lug nuts and drive around for a while......taking lots of sharp turns. Yank up on the parking brake for mucho effecto.
