i think he is saying that the rims are stuck

if so, two ideas i 'borrowed' from some canadian posters on another board:

1) heat: apply heat to the rotor/drum . it will expand at a different rate than the alloy wheel, the rust formed between the alloy and the iron will break loose eventually.

2) pressure: use a 2x4 and a jack against the frame/anything solid on the truck. watch out because when it breaks loose it will really break loose - you may want keep a few lugs on just in case

btw, you still owe me a PM on all that stuff i want to buy off said truck. good luck

Yeah, sorry I just got back from florida I will pm you when I get back. I got a pic of that console for you.

Taco I'm not hitting it like your girlfriend wants me to hit her from behind..


The rim is seized on. I tried prying it with a 2x4 and busted it in half. Mabe I will try a highlift jack and chains.

Do you want to save the rim at this point or is a grinder/ torch worth it?

put the wheels pointing straight ahead then extend two bottle jacks horizontal, between the rim and frame, and blocks of wood between the jacks and the rim, and equally apply force to the jacks a bit at a time while someone else rocks the steering wheel

Perhaps you could use a bottlejack, like said before...

JigsN Rigs

I think its SAS time if it doesn't come off

DupermanDave

Can you put a jack sideways on the inside of the IFS and jack it "up" to try and get it to push the rim off?

JigsN Rigs

how can i go sas if i cant get the tires off... i wont be able to get ifs off

Albert.G

oh but you really can torch it off

iamsuperbleeder

Step 1) get one of these






Step 2) Attatch one end to said stuck wheel


Step 3) Find her:





Step 4) Attach the other end of the chain to her


Step 5) Run out in front of her and then away from your truck with a cup-cake in your hand




That wheel is bound to come off
