bah loosen all the bolts and mount a kerb sideways fast

[foshizzle]

Possibly dangerous but has worked for me:

Sit on the floor facing the front/back of the car, by the wheel you want to get off. Get a leg underneath and one next to the outer face of the wheel to stop it from going anywhere, then kick it off with the leg that's underneath the car.

Just don't boot it so hard the car drops off the jack :o LOL

Worked a treat for me, first kick. Thanks very much mate.

Kicking works wonders! Done it countless times!

Oh but remember to get someone to catch it if its an alloy!!

Lol, this is what we used to do when I did tyres at BMW main dealer lol!!



Most effective way and only way really I think.

Ps - Wire brush the hubs before you put the wheels back on to help it doing it again. Thatd be my advice.

dont forget some copper grease great stuff will stop them getting stuck again

dont use copper grease with aluminium wheels..

True.

We were always told at BMW NEVER EVER EVER to use copper grease on wheels, threads (wheels im talking about) or anything as it ''apparently'' stretches the bolts...we just used to put them on dry.

If you crank the bolts up with a torque wrench there should be no reason to use any lubes..anyone agree or is this all rubbish?

the copper grease should go on the hub not in the bolt holes.
a thin layer will stop it seazing out.

had this problem with a 172 cup a few weeks ago
