[rick_saxo_smith]

just got delivery of my new wheels for my 1.1 saxo last week and came round to fittin them today and iv got a problem with one of the wheels, it just wont cum off!! iv fitted 3 of the wheels no problem but this front one on the right just wnt go anywhere,

how can i get it off?

[Smithy]

Brute force an ignorance?? Other than that i guess you need an air wrench that they use at the garages?

[barrett]

brute force = bent / snapped wrench when dealing with the citreon ones!!!

U will need to go to a garage and ask them nicely to undo the boltd for u

[GreenSaxo]

yep.. the std shitroen one is too short to undo most torqued bolts.. u need a socket set/breaker bar for it really

[rick_saxo_smith]

right, the problem is that ive already got the bolts off, its just the wheel that wnt come off

[barrett]

mmmm now thats odd!!!.... big hammer time??

[GreenSaxo]

hit the top of the wheel.. then the bottom.. and keep doing this.. will work its way free.. its just got siezed on the hub

[barrett]

rick.... wot saxo u got?? and what where ur old wheels like??

[oz_borne]

did you get em off?

Mine got stuck too and i did what mark (Green saxo) said and it came off. I just kept whacking it top and bottom and then eventually it worked free, Fcuking annoying ain't it. Make sure you grease it up when you put teh Bolts and teh wheel back on it's copper grease or something.

works a treat no seizing then!!!!
