Passenger side tire/rim

[skinney86]

Is there any reason why my passenger side tire/rim doesn't want to be removed. I have pulled and pulled and it just doesn't want to come off. Any help would be great!

I have to ask; Did you remove all 5 lug nuts? Not that it matters but front or rear passenger side? How many miles since it was last removed? Any salt use on the roads in your area?

Dont really know what to say. Try some PB blaster on all the wheels studs where the contact the rim and around the hub center. Lastly, after trying all of that put some effort into it and pull that thing off, jeez!

yes i have all 5 lug nuts pulled off, and it is the front passenger side that I am having problems with. I have all the other ones done already with no problem, im just having problems with this last one. The tires were removed probably 5,000 miles ago when I had my snow tires put on.

The wheel is siezed to the hub. Smack it with something. To prevent it from happening again you can put some antisieze on the hub when you put your wheels back on.

Be careful smacking an aluminum wheel. Maybe some WD-40 and a bit of time, then a rubber mallet? Tap 'round an' 'round the rim a few times.
