Penetrating oil, saturate all around the hubs and lug holes and let sit over night. Next day jack it up grab a BFH and go to town. Couple good whacks on the inside edge of the rim should do it.

Spray the lugs with a pentrant and go to town with a rubber mallet. I do not recommend driving around with the nuts loose.

I bought my '15 Lariat used this past June. A month later I went to take one wheel off to be sure my winter wheels would fit properly. I spent over an hour trying to get either rear wheel off but couldn't no matter what. I went as far as propping a 2x6 against the back of the wheel and swung an 8# sledge hammer at it repeatedly - no go. I guess some people don't believe in rotating tires regularly as this has never happened to me. I took it back to the dealer where I bought it who somehow got the wheels off (no charge). I noticed they smeared anti-seize on the hubs.

When I switch to my winter set everything is getting a good dose of Fluid Film.

I will flood them with penetrant tomorrow and repeat for a couple more days, then give it another go. I hate to go to a shop for something like this.

Maybe if you have steelies. Please don't do this to your alloy wheels.

I've had this happen and there was no one to blame but myself. I forgot the neverseize after rotating tires, and nothing I did would break the virtual weld. With some embarrassment I went to the garage and asked to use a lift for a few minutes, and hit the sidewalls with a sledge until the wheels broke loose.


Cost me a 6 pack, but easier to do on a lift than on the ground.

I've been doing it successfully on ALL wheels for over 30 years. Never any damage.

I used my 45oz Estwing deadblow and whacked the hell out of them.

Once you get the wheels off use a light coating of anti-seize whenever you rotate the wheels and you'll never have an issue again....really good stuff.
