Seized wheels.....

I just changed out the NS fog on my MY14 and presumably they don't take the wheels off during a service. All the wheels were seized on. I tried all the normal tricks (rubber mallet, wood, lowering with bolts out and so on). In the end I drove hard in reverse with only two nuts in loose and slammed on the brakes, then did the same going forward.

 

Even then I had to pull like hell (no way wifey would get these off), and eventually the wheel flew off hitting the disc and creating a scratch on the inside of the rim :sweat:

 

So word of warning. If you have never had your wheels off, get them off and wire brush the centres. Put some molyslip/copperslip (something at least) on the bits you just cleaned (its obvious when you look at it).

 

I'm really glad that I found out this before having a puncture etc...
