Sorry
The problem is I removed all the lugs and the wheel will not come off the car. Is there a secret I am not aware of to remove the wheel off this vehicle? It's a 2000 CSVT (I'm new to this vehicle).
I have had similar problems with A LOT older vehicles where the wheel would "freeze" to the hub and need to be BEAT OFF the vehicle. Before I go whacking on the rim, I thought I might ask if I am missing some secret about it's removal??
Thanks

put one lug on a few threads to prevent the wheel frmo flying off and smacking you in the face. Spray some penetrant around the hub and either pull off, get under the car slightly, kick it, or graba hammer and ebat o it, try and hit the tire at first to prevent chunkign up the wheel

You take the left lug nut off....And you take the right one of...Then you take the left one off ...And then other one off...And you shake it all around. You do the hokey pockey and you spin yourself around.....that's what it's all about.

Gawd...What [censored] moron.

put all your lug nuts back on the vehicle but do not put them on all the way just get them close to the wheel then start your car up and roll it back and forth a little this should free your wheel from the hub.
