Hey guys I was taking my rear wheel off (96 tsi) and once i got all the lugs off I went to pull it off and nothing not even a budge? How can I get the thing off?

thanks

I haven't had this problem with my 98 GS. So I'm confused.

98 GS - intake, lights and the sort, 2 12' rockford HE2, sony amp, sony 600 head unit, smiley face air fresheners all over the MO FO.....
96 TSI - all the go fast

Seriously, KICK IT. My wheels do that, it just takes a little force to get them off.

ahah had the same problem with my talon's rear wheels. I just took a sledge hammer and hit the back of the tire and it will come loose.

i farted on your wiki

BTW, if you don't want this to happen in the future, put a thin layer of anti-seize on the flat area where the wheel mounts against. Also put some on your studs to make it easier to take off and put back on without stripping them.

if kicking/smashing the wheel does not work. There is another method, its not too safe but it works (because I had to do it). Loosen all five lug nuts, not enough to completely come off. Then drive your car slowly around the block. you will feel when the wheel comes loose. Stop the car, jack it up, and retighten lug nuts. Then drive home and do what you need to do.
