How to remove a wheel that is stuck on your car.
Ever go to remove a wheel nut and it won’t budge? Even with air tools?
Here is a simple way to loosen lugnuts without fancy tools. I learned this method back in high school auto shop and attribute it to my shop teacher Mr. Ragde.
He would proclaim “It’s not strength it’s technique!!” and that dude was right on the money.
Ever get your lugnuts all off but the tire still won’t budge? Usually it’s the tire rust welded to the face of the rotor. Stay tuned to the end to find out the trick there. You might be surprised. Beauty Eh?
At least that’s the decision we made after we broke the torque wrench hammering these guys down. It was a bit of a project all told but we got ‘er done and were glad we did because we ended up discovering and righting some hardware wrongs once we’d dug into the project. Note to viewers: Check your keel bolts every 3-5 years. Thanks to the boys at https://www.perdidosailor.com/ for coaching us DIY’ers along. Enjoy!
