Hi. How I can take the front alloys wheels of?
Thanks , I will give it a go. Would you do this from the outside towards the car or from behind striking the tyre below the shock mounting ?Use the sledge hammer.
I used a lump Hamber to get the wheels off the project car.
Take all but one of the wheel bolts out.
Back that last one half way out and welly the tyre with the sledge
Evening Neil,TDI 75 , MOT due in 10 days or so and doing some basic checks . Handbrake / brakes seems to be sticking on nearside rear .. so thought quickly take off wheel and have a look... Now having issue with nearside rear alloy, seems to be bonded to the drum / hub. Have safely jacked/ supported with jack, stands , wheels and given reasonable force through kicks but it wont budge , been watching youtube videos, tried lowering onto block and wont move. reluctant to try moving slightly with bolts not tight but all in , Looks like you could drive it with no bolts in though... I wont! . All bolts undo just the wheel wont come off .. havent tried sledge hammer for fear of damaging something through a misplaced swing, damaging the tyre , thinking maybe need some sort of penetrating fluid now .
Any ideas ?
Hi Tom,Evening Neil,
Is this Project 250 Sir. If so then I couldn’t suggest anything that would see any of the wheels to be stuck on. I swapped the pepperpots over from Project OEM to ensure your purchase had the newer tyres on as I wanted to see it drive away as sorted as possible, therefore the wheels haven’t even been on there for 12 months yet. Hopefully you get the wheel off without causing any damage though. If it’s not the 250 A2 then sorry for jumping in. I’m sure you’ll have it sorted soon enough with the advice already provided above.
Kind regards,
Tom
