Hi everyone, I have a problem of changing my flat tire on the back. I unscrew the 5 screw on the tire, usually the tire can come out easily so that i can plug the back up tire on the car, however, me and my friends try really hard to pull it out but we can't . We had tried to unscrew the front tire and everything works good, it is easy to take out. So, i was wondering if there is any skill to pull that out or because of my tire is rusty. Is there anyone in the forum try that before, please give me some advice. I really have no idea, very confused!!

 

Kick at it like a mule. Serious. Sometimes pulling just wont get it when it's rusted at the hub.

 

so you took all five lug nuts off the back and with the car on a jack you can't yank off the tire? that's odd, i'd give the tire a kick or something to break it free...

 

damn s2knfr beat me to the post...

 

Kick the face of the tire, not the tread of the tire.

The wheel may just be a little corroded to the hub.

Just enough to break it free. No Chuck Norris moves....

 

^ what.... when i worked at a tire shop in college, and one was really stuck, we would roundhouse that SOB

 

If Chuck Norris kicked a tire, the whole axle would relocate to a new area code....

 

Did u guys change the rear tire before?? i just want to make sure there are no something like tire lock.

 

When we had one that was SUPER stuck, the easy fix was to loosen the nuts only a half turn each, and drive it a little bit (in a parking lot). It always worked.

 

i stopped kicking years ago... when encountering stuck wheels, i thread on one of the lugnuts a little, and use one of these on the back of the rim...



problem solved.
