Mechanics - help plz
I have a 2005 Hyundai Sante Fe. It needs the front disc brakes replaced. So, I bought the brakes and went home to change them.

I loosened the lug nuts and jacked up the Sante Fe using my 2 ton hydraulic jack. Once up, I took off the lug nuts and attempted to remove the passenger side wheel. Nothing, it would no budge.

After wiggling it around awhile to no avail, I finally gave up on that side I tried the other side but still had the same exact problem.

I have driven cars for 22 years and never, not once, have I ever had this kind of problem. Is there something that I'm missing here?

I don't put it on the lug nuts, just a thin coat on the back side of the wheel where it makes contact with the hub.

How long has it been since the wheels were last removed?

Seriously kicking it should remove it.


at the shop i have an old splitting maul to use on those REAL tough ones. usually a 48 oz plastic deadblow to the inner lip does the trick
Well, I thought about a hammer before ever posting this. But yeah, I didn't want to beat up the aluminum wheel. I am somewhat mechanically inclined. I have done many basic repairs over the years. Even some moderate ones.

So, what Brock is suggesting you agree (a 2 X 4 centered on the hub and pound it with a hammer)?

nope. you have it wrong. turn the wheel and put the 2x4 on the inside where the tire meets the wheel and hit the 2x4. remember to hold it flat.

It's probably easier just to kick it. You can direct a lot more force on to it that way, now that I think about it.

now if you kick it just jack up the car take off the lugnuts and kick the tire at the bottom where the tire and wheel meet.

I think you just loosen the nuts a couple turns before you drive around the parking lot in a zig zag manner.

Why do you laugh. Damn Korean or Japanese made cars I wouldn't put anything past them. I remember trying to change the rotors on my FIL's Tacoma one time. Damn things were locked into place somehow (don't remember now) and I didn't have the proper tools to do it. Why couldn't they just be like ever other car I've done and just pull right off?
