 |
|
Hi all, was really in the mood for some Deli maintenance this morning so thought I’d change brake pads. Jacked back up, removed centre cap and undid Wheel bolts and then couldn’t get the flippin wheel off. I’ve done brakes on loads of cars before but have never failed to remove a wheel - is there a back of getting a Deli wheel off?

Take the parking brake off.
Give it a good kick with the flat of your foot, or a sledge hammer.

I hit mine on the inner rim with a wooden mallet, all round, after spraying with WD 40 around the hub centre. If/when you get it off, sand the inside of the hole, and copper grease it before replacing the wheel.

| Place a block of wood under the inner rim when the car is lifted, then drop the car. That should be enough to do it. I had the same problem |

Looks to be starting on the basic spetnaz recruiting program.

I've had this 100s of times, sit on the floor in front of the offending wheel and give the tyre a good hard stamp
