Exactly what I do.

Had the same problem here, need a local guy with a good donkey

Best of luck but would definitly use anti-seize when you stick em back on.

actually, the dumbest question ever was asked by me about a year ago... after plying a young 20 something hottie with alcohol and compliments and being pretty confident that i would be gettin' some strange that night, i ridiculously asked her "what's a hot young girl like you doing hanging with a guy in his late 30's like me?" to which she said "you're in your late 30's? i thought you were like 32" and she politely excused herself about 10 minutes later and i never saw her again....

That happens to my rears every time.
I just take a rubber malet and hit the tire a few time to pop them off

I finally got around to it today, I tried this technique and couldnt do it. A guy at shop that was giving us free lift time for our car club did this same technique and they finally came off. Used a pneumatic grinder and knocked the most of the rust off and put antiseeze on it. Just in time for the freezing drizzel tonight.

Thanks :xoutpost: as was my first post and great info fast
