Thank you kind sir, I am a 65 year old lady, living in the back of beyond, I knew in theory how to change a wheel just never done it before. All going ok loosened the nits by standing on the brace, jacked it up, got the nuts off, feeling pleased with myself, but then that wheel was not budging. Thanks to your video I used a hammer on the front an then a few hits from the inside, it came away. Spare now on, you are a life saver. 👏👏👏

I sat on my butt and alternated legs, kicking the tire about 20 times total before it popped loose. Everywhere the rim touched the hub was thoroughly rusted together. Everytime I kicked the tire, the wheel rotated a little giving me a new area to break free. I am 70 years old, so this is doable for almost anyone. Thanks for the tip.

There is method number 5 that we use with 40 tonne heavy trucks with flat tires at the roadside, and it works for cars as well if you don't have a heavy hammer available. If your vehicle has a spare wheel, then use that as a gentle battering ram. Just roll it at low speed into the wheel edge/tire of the stuck wheel. This works because the angle of impact is pretty much exactly 90 degrees and because a rolling wheel has a surprising amount of energy behind it due to its weight. I used this technique today when fitting the winter wheels on my 6 month old car where the alloys were about as stuck as any car I have ever seen with corrosion. You just have to be careful not to impact the surrounding bodywork and take care not to lose control of the spare on slopes. I must have done this a couple of hundred times over the years with stuck roadside flats and it always works and I have never damaged the bodywork yet. I have also done it with tractor tires with equal success.

I've found the best way for me is remove all but 2 lug nuts that are across from eachother. Loosen those but dont remove them. Jack the car up and put a old brake rotor underneath about halfway towards the inside of the car. Then lower the vehicle on the rotor slowly. I've gotten even the most stubborn wheels off that way. Nice video bud.

None of those worked on my Xcursion. I had to loosen the rear tire lug nuts then put a 4x4 piece lumber with a jack at one end and force the tires apart. This worked easily and quickly. Beating on the tires, driving around with loose lug nuts, heating them, kicking them, lowering the jack quickly to drop it on the ground - none of that worked. On the front wheels, I was able to put a short piece of lumber between the tire and leaf springs and turn into it. That made the fronts pop off quickly. I hadnt taken off the wheels in about five years. I had redone the whole braking system and put new rims and tires on, then moved to a remote area where I barely log any miles on the truck compared to most people. Im glad I did this when I did cause if I had ever got a flat, I would have been screwed.

Take a rope and loop it through the spokes a few times, then tie the rope to itself to make a big loop. Leave a lot of slack. Use a 2x4 or pipe to yank against the rope. Better yet, have 2 people yank on it. The problem with the kicking method is that the tire flexes which absorbs some of your energy whereas this doesn't waste any energy.

#4 usually works great for the really stuck on wheels, but not always and if it is a brake job you need to do, may not be the safest (in my case the brakes are not working fully). I did it in my driveway and even a little on the local street in front of my house since not really any traffic. Even swerving and trying to lock up the E brake it's not coming off. It's a jeep so I even tried rolling over some split pieces of wood to get it to bounce... still nothing. These were all with the lug nuts backed off a few turns and with spraying some PB blaster between the drum and the wheel. Going to try again using Austin Olson's suggestion below. Don't have an old brake rotor around but do have some old landscaping bricks which should do the trick. PBB has been on the wheel over night also so hopefully will come off. Wish me luck.
