OK I did the Oil/Filter and fuel filter today and tried to do the tires. I put it up on Jack stands and it was going well. The I couldn't get the wheel to come off. I hit them with a hammer and even tried leaving the lugs loose and drove around the parking lot. I guess I'll try spraying WD-40 on the wheel and maybe that will help break them free. does anyone else have any ideas??? Thanks for the help. BART

Bigger hammer. Hit it from the inside of the tire. Don't hit the wheel.

If that happens to me, I sit in front of the tire, and using my feet, alternately kick the outside edge of the tire, left foot, right foot, etc...until it breaks free. Then use never seize next time.

At only $12 I think I'll let National Tire and Battery continue rotating my tires for me. They have the tools and equipment to do it quickly and safely. Not only that, but they offer me a free DrPepper while I wait and they let me stand their and watch while they do it.

They always put the wheels back on with an impact wrench and then come back later with a long handled torque wrench and make sure they're torqued right.

I tried letting someone else do it for me, told them how to do it, and they still screwed it up and had the tire pressures wrong also. When you throw the extra two wheels of a dually in there, it blows their minds I guess.

I'd rather pull the cyl.head off in the back yard quicker then I'd rotate tires myself.
