Rear wheels stuck to rotors?

[bani]

i have yet to come across a wheel which couldnt be removed with a couple of kicks (to the tire).

A few good kicks to the tire broke the rust and I was able to remove the rears... Now, I snapped a front wheel stud. Can't catch a break today.

also make sure the parking brake is off

This would be to get the a brake drum off, not necessarily the wheel.

Driving around with loose lugnuts works too, I've done it. Just keep all the lugs on, but leave a few of them slightly loose, like not even one thread.

yeah, generally a good kick on the left and then the right side of the wheel always did it for me. Although i'm not a kickboxer, so careful you don't hurt yourself or break a stud like Ganz did. LOL

I broke a stud on a front wheel... ROFL. Good story about all of that.

Had this problem. Just melted some parafin and painted it on the rotor surface that meets the wheel. no problems since.

just punch both sides of the wheel one after another x) that's what I did
