Somtimes they do need a good kick. :up: (Stick the nut back on though to save the wheel flying across the garage! And make sure it's on a good solid stand, Abba etc ;) )

I've seen my mate use a sledgehammer on an alloy wheel that had corroded onto a VW Golf, even then he really struggles. I said he ought to drive it round the block once and see how far he got :grin:
