HELP! Removing wheels

[dd4321]

I have a problem removing the wheels on my R33. I did the usual loosening the nuts, jack the car and unscrew all the 5 nuts, but... the wheel simply did not come off. What the....??? It seems the wheel somehow got welded to the car. I thought that the mags may be rusty and stuck but a month a go I just had full wheel balancing, ie, all the 4 wheels were removed completely.

Anyone have any idea? Any 'magic button' I need to press to get the wheels off? BTW, I just had my R33 for a month.

Any helps appreciated :ufo:

Just kick them a bit, prolly just some grit sticking them.

I kicked the crap out of the wheel until the jack was a bit shaky... any more kicking may drop the jack, hence break my legs.... :wassup:

I had also sprayed some wd40 to loosen any rusts, but did not help.

maybe theres another nut somewhere?? are these after market rims or stockies?

[dd4321]

After market 18" rims. If any, where would this 'hidden' nuts be located?

put a stand, under the corner of the car which the wheel is off, and then start kicking, i guarantee it has rusted to the hub

get a rubber mallet and hit the inside of the rim a few times. A few small hits and i guarentee it will come off.

yea it will just be rusted to the hub i reckon as well HIT IT WITH A MALLET

it could be hub locator is too tight for some reason in which case...see rule 1.
