I’m surprised they were stuck so badly. That’s probably the first time I’ve had the wheels off of this car though. I cleaned them up and put on a light film of anti-seize for next time. Thanks.
Why would you have anxiety? Not like they took them all off and went cruising down the freeway. I once had a couple frozen real good on my 64 chevelle. I loosened them about half way and went out and pulled a bunch of burnouts. No good, then drove down a bunch of pothole roads, nothing, then tried driving off of curbs. Still didn't get it. Finally had to heat up with torch and ram with a big 4X4 log.
@@michaelszczys8316 1) I believe my follow-up question to that statememt makes it clear enough. 2) who cares about your stupid story? I sure didn't ask. 3) gfy, I don't owe you explainations.
I remember once trying to get stuck wheels off of an old Honda. The way I got them loose was to heat up the wheels with a propane torch. After about 5 minutes of moving the torch around the center of the wheel, I heard a loud “ping”, and the wheel came free. The other side worked the same way. When done my work, I cleaned off the rust, and then put a light coat of grease on the hub to prevent it from rusting again. To make it easier, turn the wheels to the right to make it easier to to the driver side then the other way to do the passenger side.
Lol. I just suffered through this and used a thin layer of anti-seize myself. Being the guy who's likely taking them off next time, I'll pat myself on the back when I'm happens
Loosen them up, take it out and hit some bumps. If it loosens up, then tighten up a bit so it isnt flopping and go home. Not that big of a deal, you dont have to go 60 mph. I normally use a long heavy piece of lumber, whatever i got, like a battering ram.
Not much more to see? How about having to compress the calipers to get them back on and making sure you pump the breaks to get them set properly again before driving? Those would seem to be important points to me...
@@michaelszczys8316 the first time, and hopefully the last time, I did it, I put the truck in drive and slammed it into my oil caddy, toolbox and made a dent in the shop wall. Even if I'm not doing brakes on a vehicle, if I'm just doing a wire repair or a simple wiper arm recall, I pump the brakes.
