[Cameleon3]

2 hours later my racing harts were still on...fun fun...I think someone played a practical joke on me because it feels like they are SUPER GLUED ON...I tried a hammer...sledge hammer..kicking...screaming...pry bar...shaking the car...My arms are really sore...any suggestions??? EXCEPT FOR GO TO A GARAGE!!! and while you guys are reading this...u guys hear any vibrations near ur drive side door??

heh - I know what you are talking about......when i did my caliper 2 of my wheels were like that too - no gig deal just work with them.....there si nothing wrong just a bit tough - what i did was kick them off

First, check your shoes and make sure you have no stones or any rough stuff on the bottom - then with medium force kick the rims from left to right using both feet - mine came off in like 2 kicks....

Take a hammer and tap the back of the rim, they should loosen up. Oh and put one lug nut back on loosly so the rim does'nt fall off.

No one has said anything about this but I hope you have it on jackstands and not the bad factory jack. Just for safety. MSPCanada is right though, keep one lugnut on loosely and hit the back side of the tire with a hammer. Use a deadblow rubber mallet. It works best.
