Default Wheel is stuck on? How do I get it off?

Grr. The back wheel is stuck on the car, I've removed all the nuts, and can't get it off.

Is there an easy way to undo a stuck on wheel?




Cheers.

Kick it whilst observing all helath and safety regs
Hit it will a rubber/plastic hammer

Make sure the car is properly supported and give it a good few kicks

The problem is, when I do that, the car moves, as if it's going to move off the jack and axel stand!

Hit it, or possibly try prying it off with a piece of wood between the spokes and the disc.

Sorted boys!

Whacked some stuff on it to stop it happening again.

The directional tyres are now on the correct way.

Feels bloody ace though, never knew how well it handles in the wet! Immense!

you missed out the part as you kicked the car.

you shouted "i fucking hate you you cunt"

and then as the car fell in slow motion to the floor

the wife appears at the front door

whats the problem with all the shouting

then you turn around and shout "AND YOU CAN FUCK OFF TOO"



and then you go the chipshop for your tea ...

and sleep on the Couch for 3 nights
