HELP... wheels will not come off

[betterbeaters]

bigger hammer!

torch off the rim

[Bo Duke]

put the lug nuts on loose and drive it around the yard drive way or whatever and try taking it off again..

[spr_chicken]

I put the lug nuts on loose and went for a 30 min hell ride through the field (it was just all tilled under and half frozen) next to my house. I've been working on my ford and a few other trucks. So the suburban has just been sitting. I'm going to try using a come along attached to a tree again and this time let the air out of the tire to hit the rim. If that doesn't work I am going to pull the axle apart and try to pressing the wheel studs out.

I've tried just about everything suggested here except using a truck to pull on the rim. I've been reading horror stories about the alcoa rims I have. I will be opening the wholes in the rims up when I finally get them off. Then when I get my taxes back I will be buying steel rims and beating the hell out of the alcoa's with the 13# sledge hammer that wouldn't get them off... LOL

try jumping it like the dukes of hazzards did??

I like this idea!!  I would pay to see it!!

get a tire bar and change the tire on the wheel on the truck

[old school truck dude]

Exactly how Ive done a bunch of tractor and equipment tires - it works! 

[spr_chicken]

I just pulled the truck around sideways by the rim with the lug nuts loose. I am just going to have to pull the axles out with the drums and wheel attached. I surrender... LOL

Hit it harder

Hit it harder

I think leaving 10ft of slack in a 30ft tow strap and flooring it is about as hard as I want to hit it. I was pulling the suburban sideway a foot and a half each time I hit it...

hmmm... My 11 year old son just came over to me and said "dad why don't you just put those axles under it" pointing at the corp 14 and dana 60 laying on the floor of my pole barn. They are for my next build but i'm kind of thinking about it...

For a last attempt before u pull the axles, try  proppin up a bottle or screw jack behind the rim n get some pressure on it. Next, put your strap on it and chain the truck to a tree or somethin so it wont move and get a hard pull started, then hit it with ur sledge n wood block, also put some heat to it while ur gettin this all set up. Snatchin it with a strap aint gonna do much cuz the strap  stretches some - wish u were closer Ive run into this before and always got them loose.

[BigFrank]

I got an idea, take it to a discount tire, pay $25-35 for a rotation and tell'em ta call when its done. You could also run it around and do some hard stops and get the whole rotor hot then try hammering it off.
