Ok...I don't get it. I had no problem taking the racing harts off when i put the winters on.....then, i had no problem switching them back. Now, I tried to paint my calipers this weekend and the wheels wouldn't come off....No matter how hard I kicked them:mad: Whats wrong with my wheels....is it because it was kinda cold when i tried to do it?
 
Kick, liquid wrentch, hot water and a soft loab hamer, they'll come off eventualy.
 
Yeah, this is common. Kick one side while pulling on the other side, and it should come off. Just be carefull not to hit the rims.

What paint are you using ?


I bought the G2 Caliper paint. The s*** is coming off on my back cali's. Front looks perfect. I guess the stuff can't take our winters.
 
Thanks guys....i tried the kick and pull but to no avail.....i'm gonna try again tomorrow when it warms up, or maybe even later on today
 
I read on here one guy just loosened his lug nuts and drove his mp3 down and up his driveway once and it loosened them. I would only do that as a last resort and very slowly.

I used the VHT caliper paint, I am pleased with the results. Spray the paint into a cup and brush it on with a sponge brush, it works well and you dont need to tape anything off. The only thing I dont like about the red calipers now is that you can see when they are dirty. Other then that they kick ass.
 
HOt water for the rim, then a beer for you.
Kick the wheel, no luck?
Liquid wrentch or penatrating oil for the car, another beer for you!

Why not?

If you can't get them off atleast your buzzed.
 
I bought the liquid wrench and tred it out. Wheels came off like a charm, painted the calipers, drank a beer:cool:
