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

 

i had stuck wheel befor beat the liven piss out of it never came off

so i got oh the bob cat rammed it wiht eh bucket and pop off it came

other time we had stuck whel i just chained the one well on to my yard car got upt t liek 30 k and pop off it came


so it does happen i only had 2 were hammer just does not work

 

i was thinkin about a tow strap and another truck but decided that was a bad idea.

 

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

 

Yeah I think I might try that tomorrow..

Thanks guys

 

well, it is tomorrow... even in WI.

 

That's what i would do.

Just make sure your all clear an go for it!

 

Yeah its tomorrow for you. Tomorrow for me starts when I get off work here at 6 am

i would so make one of those if i had the tools to do it.. can i buy one anywhere

 

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

 

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?

 

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

 

oh but you really can torch it off

 

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

 

Dude.. Thats my mom...
