jimmymac101 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Evening all , right im in need of some seriuous help! i went to lower my ignis sport this afternoon, loosend up all wheel nuts then jacked it up and removed all the wheel nuts and the wheel didnt move! it seems like its welded on there and i cant get it off ive pushed and pulled it and nothing happens ive looked on youtube and the answer seems to be kick it stupidly hard until it breaks the seal. is this the correct method? can anyone give me some advice please cheers james Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt1878 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Kick the tyre mate... Your back to the tyre and kick the tyre/wheel that is behind you:) Either this or get a copper mallet and hit the wheel from the in behind Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Green Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 You would be better off with a nylon hammer. If there wasnt any copper grease between the wheel and hub there is a good chance they have reacted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmymac101 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 so just put all my force into it then ? im quessing i wont damage the wheel or hub? thanks james Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt1878 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Get some boots or shoes on and kick it from behind at the side of the wheel.. It will come loose and come away you have to be the hulk or something to damage anything lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Screw on a wheel nut a few threads first so it dont come flying off face first. Kicking is the best method Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Yeah kicking it or it you dont have a soft hammer get a bit of wood, put it across the back of the wheel and smack the wood with a lump hammer.An as above leave a nut or 2 on a few threads so it doesnt fall off.My speedlines do this everytime no matter what i do :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
