How do you remove front tire if stuck?
Is the tire stuck on the rim, or is the rim stuck to the
wheel/brake rotor? FriPilot Let's assume that on a dark rainy night
you notice a thumping and you pull over and have a flat tire. You
pull out your spare tire, lug wrench, and jack, set the emergency
brake, loosen the lugnuts, jack up the vehicle, and the wheel
refuses to budge from the car after you remove the lugnuts. No
matter how hard you kick, pull, or pry on the wheel it is not
coming off. You are out in the boondocks with no cellphone or help
nearby. Put the lugnuts back on the wheel but leave about 1/4 inch
space on each nut before the nut would contact the wheel. Jack the
vehicle back down and remove the jack and anything else out away
from the car. Get back in the car and drive it back and forth while
turning the steering wheel sharply in one direction and then the
other (watching out for traffic of course). The wheel will pop away
from the rotor and you can then change the tire normally.
