Trying to get tire off an 04 ram. won't budge. ANy ideas???

 

I got it.

 

The Aluim rims rust unto the hub, I found this out a while back, I put a wood block under my flat tire, slowly lowerd my jack, trucks whight popped the rim lose.

Don't remove all the lugs when you lower the jack, you still need protection in the event truck falls of the jack.

 

You have to take the lug nuts off. HaHa JK

 

Aluminum doesn't rust!!!!!!

The wheels usually stick due to rust on the hub where the center of the wheel rides and the built up rust holds the wheel on.

 

LMAO! Thats what I was going to say. Maybe they only rust in Canada. LOL.

 

Did you try and spray PB Blaster or something else like that on it.

 

Okay, I pulled a typo, glad your all watching out for me !!!! Yes the hubs rust on to the rims.

 

a nice bigger rubber malot and a few hard wacks will get it off. i had the same problem before but i gave it some "love" taps and it popped right off

 

Mine were like that on the driver side @ 6700 miles. Some hard kicks from under the truck along with a carefully placed pry bar finally busted them loose.
