Make sure you put some copper slip on the hub and spacers if you have them fitted...

Chris will know what I mean...

pretty much prevents them seizing onto the hub and being an utter git to get off.

yea, adam is also referring to possibly killing the wheel tho...which is what you didnt wanna do. So that suggestion is a bit useless.

it was a bugger tho! That lube stuff was good tho, seemed to work much quicker than WD does! :thumbs:

I rate it better myself compared to WD, costs a little more, but you get what you pay for :)

you unbolt the wheel.
set it back on the ground,
then jump about in the car, or shove it on the opposite side. 8)

or a good, less damaging way, loosen the bolts
only a little.
drive down the road and back, then i bet the wheel will be unseized :D
