One thing I didn't check when we bought my son a used car was to take the wheels off. The brakes seemed fine, so no need to, right? Well, went to rotate the tires today and the left front wheel is frozen to the hub. Lugs bolts came off easy enough, but the dang wheel will not budge. Banged it with the heel of my hand and even gave a little kick, but no amount of tugging would pry it loose. Didn't want to crack the hub so we put the lugs back in and gave up for now.
Any ideas other than taking it to a tire shop? Can't they pull or push it off with some tool?
How about backing off the bolts a few turns without jacking up car and rocking the car? I'm afraid it'd come off the hub and the wheel would fall off!
