Okay today i tried to take off my front two wheels, but they wouldn't come off. I removed the nuts, had it jaked up but for some reason they won't comeoff. How do i get them off?
HOLY!!!! I thought I would be the only one to ever have this problem. You know what's scary? I gave up after a while. I have this one volk wheel that won't come off in the front and not even my neighbor who benches 380 and lat pull a lot more could pull it off. Weird
I know this sounds strange and be REALLY careful and slow with the jack when you do it, but I lowered my jack slowly and as soon as the wheel touches the floor it pops off!
It is down to your skill and don't cock it up, but I still think it is safer than taking a mallet to the things!

if ur on stock wheels, u need to make sure u turn it a little. the wheel itself locks in place when u turn it a certain direction. most people dont even know about that and just put it on and tighten it up. its like an added security in case ALL ur bolts come off i guess...
if u already turned it, its just a matter of using alot of WD40 and force =T

Where did you hear this? The wheels don't lock onto the hubs!!! I have never had the front wheels get stuck on. The rears get stuck on, but not the fronts.
DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT put WD40 on the studs!!!!!! If you do, you need to check the lug studs after driving a few hundred miles. You will find that they loosen quite quickly when the studs have been lubricated.
Why not just give the edge of the tire a good kick? Do you really think after supporting a 3000 lb. car, driving over bumps, holes, cracks, etc. that a firm kick on the tire is going to hurt the rim?

A friend of mine put some anti-sieze compound on his studs. Went for a few laps, and after a 20 minute session, he heard some funny noises coming from the front end. It was coming from the wheels because the lug nuts had gotten so loose that the wheel was bouncing around on the studs!!

just give the sidewall of the tire a swift kick like billy suggested. just don't kick it so hard that when the wheel pops off where it flies off the hub and straight onto the ground.

Do you know anyone that makes an aftermarket fuel guage? I'm thinking about putting some guages behind the black glass on the right side. However I didn't want to mix aftermarket guages and stock guages. I was looking at the Apex-i EL2 guages since they're blue and will somewhat match the...
