OK, so today I have modified my H2 wheels to fit on the dodge. Great snug fit, the problem is I can't get on of them out now. It went in tight and once I torqued the lug nuts, I can't get the wheel of the hub. So, what's next, I got one of those big bearing pullers and will try it tomorrow. Any other ideas?

 

Try hittin the tire with a BFH

 

as he said, witha bfh, but make sure you hit the tire, as he said, not the rim ! when you do get them off, open up the hole a lil more so this isn't a problem anymore.

 

Mine were tight too, just used a small sledge type hammer, bumped it around on the rubber, popped right off. I beveled the inside edge just a bit after I got the tire off, did it to all the rims. Also, I ws told to make sure to put a little lubricant on the inside edge when mounting them up, they tend to gall a little with road heat. I don't know if that's true or not, but I did put on a little anti-sieze.

If that doesn't work, loosen the lugs about 1/8 inch and take a drive around the block. Jack it up again and use BFH. Repeat as necessary.

 

Thanks, the above + lots of penetrating lube worked. I did not see it before, but right at the end of the hub, against the disc there is a lip that is a little bigger diameter than rest of the hub, so even though the wheel fits on the hub it might get stuck, as it did in my case, on that lip.

Thanks again.

 

A rubber mallet has always worked good for me. Safer too.
