Help please. Tire trouble

dgliango · 11-05-2008, 11:39 PM

I am removing my stock wheels on my 335i sport right now and the car is jacked up from the side. I took out all the lug nuts on my rear left tire and the wheel is completely off the ground. But the tire will not budge or come off. You guys have any idea why?

galvanic corrosion between the hub and the centerbore of the wheel.

happens if you dont put grease or antiseize between the hub and the wheel.

when you get it off, you'll find a white-rusty powdery mess. thats aluminum oxide and iron oxide. wirebrush it off the hub and rim, and give it a good coat of high temp grease or antiseize.

if its really stuck, get a bottle of PB blaster, remove centercap with suction cup, spray space between hub and wheel. let sit for 10 minutes, tap tire with mallet, wheel should come right off.
