ok so ive changed tires b4 on my civic but im having trouble removing the passenger front wheel off, i removed all 5 lug nuts but the wheel wont budge. must i remove the big nut inside the center cap? or am i missing something else? need help quick please

 

What kind of car is this on? If it is an Evo 8 you shouldn't have to do anything special at all.

 

its an 03 8, i removed all 5 lug nuts but it wont budge

 

kick it.

 

Yeah, kick it, wiggle it, make sure it's all the way off the ground etc etc. It should budge unless you have some weird aftermarket setup. All it is is the 5 lugs on the 5 studs.

How long did you drive on it while it was flat or really low pressure? You may have bent something...

 

nothing. i sprayed wd 40 hopefully it will losen it up, i removed all 5 lugnuts and it wont bugde even a little bit, im not missing something anywhere else am i?

 

i hit a pot hole and it cracked the lip of the rim i drove it at max 1/2 a mile after that

 

You need a bigger hammer. There is nothing else holding the wheel on except the lugs. If you kicked it and it didn't move, kick it harder. If it's on pavement and you have a decent jack, lower the car with the lugs off and see if the weight of the car will pop it off.

Don't drop the car entirely down though as the wheel may come off and drop to the ground.

/brox

 

gonna try that now brb

 

nope picked it up and put it down twice didnt not budge. im hoping the wd 40 can loosen it, ima try later on thanx for all the help guys

 

just pick up the car and beat the rim off with a BigF#ckingHammer it is broken anyways so go at

 

the wheel is aluminum so it shouldn't be rusted to the hub or rotor. if the wheel is trashed anyway, get something you can use to pry the rim off.

 

+1 Just keep on hitting it. It may take a good amount of force.

 

 

kick it...how cant u take off a tire..??? geez
