And because Jim and Ben were on the phone with each other I couldn't concentrate to save my life.
SO .... bringing Ben to work the front left (is it ever any other?) was totally flat.
He walked. It's cold 60°F. I got the jack out and got the 4 stuck lugs off with WD40. The wheel would not budge. took the E-brake off(and quickly put it back on), put it in neutral so now it had play but would still not come off. And now it's raining.
yep
Can't believe my brother made his living from this for years.
This video is funny besides helpful, and i did the kicking thing but all it did was knock the wheel left and right. IT STILL DIDN'T COME OFF>
Click to viewI had to come back inside and watch the next step or find a new video. His comments said that he got under the car to kick it but I didn't see that. I watched another video of a stuck wheel and this man reached under the car with a rubber mallet and got it off. I'm fresh out of rubber mallets. I watched this guy and he just angles his leg under, not his whole body. Even still, that didn't work for me.
I videoed myself if family and friends are dying to watch that. I plan to edit it.
I sprayed the center part of the wheel hoping not to spray whatever I wasn't supposed to spray because I couldn't see it in his video. I kept hitting the wheel from the underneath position repeatedly and it was making such a loud noise. I didn't even know if i was hitting it in the right place or if i would break something. Regardless it wasn't working. So i sent my leg under the car and kicked it and i felt something. Believe it or not it came off!
The spare was easy to get on. the lugs are all in good shape, but the spare turned out to be partly flat. I ended up driving on that spare to the Gas station and filled it, but did not fill the tire because I'm going to need to have it repaired, i think. I could do the soap test at the gas station, but not today. i'm going to wait for the sunshine.
