come on guys lets get serious, take off all your lugnuts and take a drive around the country side... haha just kidding, take a piece of wood and hold it against the back side of the tire....and SWING swing with all you go with a slugge

 

After you do the sand paper trick, load it up w/ anti sieze as well.

 

I used to have the same issue with the aloy rims. So what I did is take a porting tip on my die grinder and just opened the hub hole a little bit, then I put anti-seize compound on it. Never had that problem again. What happens is the aluminum corrodes and seizes to the steel hub. Just an idea...

 

It happens though. With aluminum wheels, the problem is when aluminum and steel touch each other, it causes a chemical reaction called galvanic corrosion and slowly eats away at the aluminum wheel. Also the aluminum expands and contracts more than the steel.

And steel wheels will rust and stick themselves. The ones on my 95 pickup were stuck BAD. Took a half hour of beating with a sledge hammer to get them off.

 

I like anti-sieze for a lot of things, but the wheels are not one of them. I tried it once, and even though I only used a little bit, I still found it slung all over the wheels after a while. The stuff is rude to clean up well.

I always clean the mating surfaces of the wheels and rotors / drums with fine emory cloth, and brake cleaner. Then I smear a thin coat of grease on those surfaces before I re-install the wheel. I find far less mess is made, and I never have any trouble with the wheels sticking on the hubs, even here in the land of Mag Chloride.

 

That works too.
