Stuck alloy

Jeep woe #997

My rear wheel has corroded itself to the hub.

Is the general method of removal spray with penetrating fluid then lump the life out of it with a lump hammer? I have a nail in my tyre. Thanks Toolstation.

Thanks
Jon

Loosen nuts just enough and drive a few feet back and forth. Hopefully should do it.

Might require a bump up and down a curb or a very tight turn with a little power on to get it to let go. They can release with a rather loud noise

This.

I had this with a non mini mini. Just loosened the nuts and dropped it down (hard) off the jack. That did it.

Rear wheel, Passat estate.

It's my car! Brakes are fine and looked after. The wheel was off last service (by me).

It came off with a few kicks.

I keep a lead mallet in my toolbox for knocking off alloys, it's the type used for spoked wheels on MGs etc
