I have tried heat, hammer, pry bar, deep creep. They are stuck!!!! Any ideas?
I am tomorrow after 24 hours of having deep creep in them it will come apart. But if not, what are other Ideas to get it apart?
They are this style wheel
I have a wooden baseball bat that I like. It lets you hit the rim directly without damaging it.
The other alternative, to be used as a last resort only, is to loosen the lug nuts and then drive it a bit. Like up and down the driveway a few times or a circle in the yard. The vibration and weight should break them free, but you have to be careful about damaging the wheel that way.
put the wheel nuts on so they are loose , drive the truck the wheels should break free when they do tighen the whee nuts and drive home , then you can remove the wheels normally . when you put them back on put some antisieze on the area where the wheel contacts the hub
with dad's superduty we used a cut to length landscape beam and a hydraulic bottle jack. i once did brake work on a '05 escape that the wheels were stuck to, i lived in a trailer park at the time, with it i loosened the lugs and drove through the trailer park, hitting the speedbumps and curbsides at a angle, heard them break free one by one. i always anti-sieze the wheel mating surface and the drum or rotor where it contacts the hub/axle.
