[mucka88]

Seems when I fix one problem theres another with my e30, no come to take back wheels off and seem to be stuck solid, I did have a tyre changed and the guy used like a over sized rubber mallet, but asked everyone I know and no luck, really need wheels off todo work, any ideas? Im in the aldridge area if anyone is close? And would like to help me thanks

Aldridge-as in near Walsall? If so, I'm near the Longhorn pub on Sutton Road-free on Sunday if you want to call round?

Yes thats it mate, cant drive my car at the moment as got to replace steering rack on it soon as I get time haha, thanks ;)

this may work , crack bolts off half way sit on the ground with a foot on either side of the tyre and kick left rifht left right should free it some if not take bolts out fully , once off get yourself a wire brush hope this helps

get under the car, with all the wheel bolts of, get a block of wood and sizable hammer. place the wood on the rim and hit accordingly, spin it after every hit aswell
do this day in day out of merc shitters lol
make sure you clean all the shit of after and copper slip the fook out of it

Tryed the would and lump hammer no good, I gonna try batts way now, back out in the cold haha

[BATTS91]

dont be afraid to kick hard bud and keep ya feet flat on the ttee if you can

When I got my E30 I couldn't even crack the bolts a quarter turn easily, then after removing the bolts it was a pain in the backside removing the wheel itself! Just gave it a good kicking in the end.

When I couldn't get the rears off the manta I undid the bolts a few turns and drove round the block! Did the trick
