Hey all.
My 1990 Ford Ranger has been sitting for about 4 months or so, after the rear wheels locked up and I started a different job that didn't require daily driving the Ranger. I started it occasionally, but just didn't have time or money to work on it.
Fast forward to last week and I sorted out the issues, and got it back on the road. It still had winter wheels on it, so I got down to changing those back to my all-seasons.
I got the front drivers-side wheel off, it was just a steelie. Seemed a little hard to pull off, but I figured that was from sitting and rust. Went to put the Ranger wheel back on, and it will not go on for the life of me. I can get it on about a 1/4 of the way, and it just stops. The passenger side wheel goes on, no problem, and I don't remember the drivers side wheel being a problem to remove last winter when I installed the winter wheels.
In the photo I attached, it seems the wheel doesn't want to go over that second ridge.
Any ideas as to why this might be? Your help is much appreciated.
Cheers.
