Trying to take off rear wheels??

[grayman]

Has got to be the weirdest thing. I've got rear of car on jackstands and front wheels caulked. Trying to take off rear wheels. Have all lugs off and wheels are stuck to the hub. Wont budge. Tried a block of wood on inside of wheel to maybe knock it loose....no luck. Never had that happen before. Will try a bit of WD-40 and try again later I guess. ???

See If you can safely lower (just until it starts to touch the ground) your car down on the side of the offending tire; the weight of the car should break free the tire that is stuck.

Tap the rim gently with a rubber hammer. The rim will then break lose from the hub.

Happened to me on my sons VW GTI.

I found that while sitting on my back, kind of kicking the tire at an angle helped a little. Hitting it in a way that there was a little turning motion as well as a rocking motion. It took a lot of hits. I think I kind of got it vibrating. This was of course with little VW wheels. Geeze a Viper would be tough.

I'd be a little worried about knocking the car off the jacks though.

Just so you know its possible. I posted this yesterday.
