Come Off!!!

[400exrules]

This is stupid but i cant get my front tires off. I lifted the front end off the ground, took off the lugnuts, and the tires wont budge, i cant get them off the hub. I soaked them to hell with wd40 and let them sit, and they still will not come off. Any tips? Im gonna wait for my dad to get back so he can help me put alittle muscle into pullin them off

kick the top or the bottom of the tire....hard...trust me it will work

Rubber mallet and beat em off it wont dent them.

their douglas red label rims so their pretty tough, kickin the tire wont bend anything will it?

[vinson581]

noo


just kick the top of the tire and it will loosen the bottom. i do this all the time, the wheels usually get rusted on....or corroded on..

what way did u have the lug nuts on... if u put them taper side in on a redlabel it makes it nearly impossible to get the rim off...

LOL... a buddy of mine did this. When you say they are nearly impossible, your not kidding. We totally trashed one of his rear wheels trying to get them off.

heres the trick, take the castle nut off, and then take the whole hub and everything off, then get a peice of 4x4 wood. this wil cover over all pionts of the hub, where the lug goes on, put it in the grass and just take a hammer and hit the 4x4, it will pop out within the first five hits! but you have to hit it hard! this happened with my rear wheels, i cant take them off so every time i have do this... good luck i know for a fact this works!

should i just set it on the ground and start kickin at the top of it?

this sucks.....how can i prevent this?

check if there is washers in front of the rim. it makes them hard to get off if there is a washer there.

[400exrider0004]

mine do the same, you just have to kick it or put some muscle into it.

actually i think their is a small washer in it, i can see a small silver ring around the inside of the lug hole around the lug, i cant tell if its a washer, but it sure looks like one

[Nick110]

u have to get it off then if its a washer. u mighta crushed it in there when u were tryin to get it off

[400exrules]

i cant get to the washer at all, its flush with the rim so i cant get anything in their to grip it to pull it out

Red label wheels dont washers. Just kick the wheels til they come off then mount them again the proper way with the flat side of the lugnut facing the wheel.
