Can't get tire off
I have 18" 3GS wheels. Bought 20mm spacers from ebay and installed on the rear wheels this past Saturday. No problems Saturday & Sunday.
Driving home from work yesterday, rear passenger wheel made a sound. I can't get the wheel off the spacer, it's stuck. Shot WD40 between the back of the wheel & spacer + inside the bolt holes. Any suggestions?

Hitting the inside of the wheel with a rubber mallet got it off.
The source of the noise was the nuts on the spacer holding it to the rotor hub came loose. Found 2 nuts that were loose. Strange how the other side was fine.

I've had to torch my k2500 big block suburban to get wheels off. Melts the clear coat but I had no choice. 16 lb sledge couldn't do it and risk to him really rims....
Crc makes a anti corrosion spray that I put on before I put wheels on, works well, look for it.
