SOURCE: trying to replace brake disc

Chances are the rim is rusted to the hub;turn wheel to the outside and use a shop hammer or heavy dead blow hammer to tap the back side of rim,be careful not to damage rim.You may have to spin wheel and try this at several spots.

SOURCE: wheel covers on 2005 S-Type

Same problem on an 02 X-Type. I called a mechanic and he said to use a 7/8" socket. I have yet to give it a try, but I thought it might help.

I tried to post a solution but didn't realize that I needed to sign up first.

You'll need to take the wheel bearings off. the rotors are bolted to the hub and the bolts are located in the back of the hub thus having to remove the wheel bearings and removed the hub/rotor assy.

SOURCE: wheel nuts on back wheel of 06 ford focus stripped.

Hi Ray,

I put in some time at an auto salvage yard. Aluminum wheels were big sellers and not something we wanted to damage.

When the lug nuts needed some persuading, we got out the high impact 12 pt deep sockets.

First try we used the correct size.

If they were stripped, one size smaller. We hammer them on to the lug and use a breaker bar with a pipe extension.

The only real problems we had were getting the lug nuts out of the sockets.

Good luck and best regards,
Mike

Testimonial: "Most helpful although i am still having problems, it seems that the lug nuts are so soft rather than loosening the nut the socket just spins on the nu"

How to remove front wheels of Acura 1996 3.2 TL

The large nut you see is most likely the axle retention nut.

It is NOT used to hold on the wheel.

The wheels on a 2000 Acura TL are secured to the wheel hub by 5 lug nuts.

If after removing the "lugs" the tire and wheel may be difficult to remove after a long period due to corrosion betweem the wheel and hub.

If this happens, tap the tire at opposite ends (like 12 and 6 o'clock) with a rubber or plastic mallet.

This should help to loosen the wheel so you can remove it.

How do i remove the rear drum on a 1986 chevy p/u with 8-lug 14-bolt rear

The brake drum is most likely just rusted to the axle. Spray a liberal amount of WD-40 where the drum meets the axel and repeat. Apply some pressure to the drum via a screwdriver or pry bar and smack the axel with something like a three pound sledge hammer and it should pop loose.

2006 z71 ext.cab 5.3ltr. has a loose marble sound coming from passenger side front wheel.

It may just be a stone that got inside the wheel and hasnt gotten tossed out. It could also be a loose lug nut. A good visual inspection should be able to find the problem. One thing to note, the black plastic caps that hold your hub cap on are not your lug nuts! They screw onto your lug nuts, so to see the lug nuts you'll need to unscrew these caps.
