Whether you're dealing with a flat tire on the roadside or simply doing routine maintenance in your garage, these tips will help you get the job done efficiently and safely. Don't let a stubborn tire ruin your day - follow along with this comprehensive guide!
*Step-by-Step Guide:*
1. *Safety First:*
- Before you begin, ensure your vehicle is parked on a flat, stable surface.
- Engage the parking brake and use wheel chocks to prevent any movement.
- Always wear gloves and eye protection for added safety.
2. *Gather Your Tools:*
- A jack and jack stands to lift and secure the vehicle.
- A lug wrench to remove the lug nuts.
- A rubber mallet or a piece of wood and a regular hammer.
- Penetrating oil to loosen any rust or debris.
- A tire iron or a sturdy lever.
3. *Loosen the Lug Nuts:*
- Use the lug wrench to slightly loosen the lug nuts while the tire is still on the ground. Don’t remove them completely yet.
4. *Lift the Vehicle:*
- Position the jack under the vehicle’s recommended lifting point and raise the vehicle until the tire is off the ground.
- Secure the vehicle with jack stands to ensure stability.
5. *Remove the Lug Nuts:*
- Now, fully remove the loosened lug nuts and set them aside in a safe place.
6. *Apply Penetrating Oil:*
- Spray penetrating oil around the hub where the tire meets the vehicle. Let it sit for a few minutes to break down any rust or debris.
7. *Loosen the Stuck Tire:*
- If the tire doesn’t come off easily, use the rubber mallet or a piece of wood and a hammer to tap the tire from the backside.
- Work your way around the tire, gently tapping in different spots to avoid damaging the rim.
8. *Use Leverage:*
- If the tire is still stuck, use a tire iron or a sturdy lever. Place it between the tire and the hub, and gently pry the tire away.
- Be cautious not to damage the rim or hub.
9. *Inspect and Clean the Hub:*
- Once the tire is removed, inspect the hub for any rust or debris. Clean it thoroughly with a wire brush and apply a thin layer of anti-seize compound to prevent future sticking.
10. *Reinstalling the Tire:*
- Position the tire back onto the hub and hand-tighten the lug nuts.
- Lower the vehicle slightly so the tire makes contact with the ground and tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern to ensure even pressure.
- Fully lower the vehicle and give the lug nuts a final tightening.

Sit on the ground and kick it free. If you don't have the mallet.
That works too!
safer and easier way....crack nuts loose and drive car a few feet forward and reverse. wheel is now loose
Yup that works too, many times. In this case it did not. Thanks for the tip though. Take care.
Or you could put your bolts on hand tight drive the car 10 or 15 ft and it will break itself off and the bolts will hold it tight enough where it won't hurt your studs
Great tip! Yup that works too. Thanks
@@DIYTechnician 👍
@@DIYTechnician airbags also work very well for stock tires
A BFH aways does the job
You know it:) Never know when you’re gonna need to bust out your universal BMFH.
Lol my Toyota does this every time so I just put a little grease on the rotor and so far so good.
Right on! Great tip.
Put the lug nut on lose and drive it in circles or slam on the brakes
Yup that works good too.
Loose
@@mikegreene8461 auto correct 🤷🏻♂️
@@RaymondEldridge-lm8dk In this case it is auto incorrect
@@mikegreene8461 I know I should of checked it before I posted it 😂🤷🏻♂️
Rubber mallot on the inside of the rim and it works every time never NEVER use a metal hammer on a stuck wheel unless the rim is unusable
Great comment. A sledge hammer on a rim is a bad idea. In the video, all methods were performed by striking the rubber tire itself and not the metal rim. Thanks for pointing that out. Take it easy.
Use a block of wood and a hammer
That works too.
