Warranty - Stuck wheel

[Moomin_Man]

jiggling is not enough. you need to drive it (slowly, carefully) to distribute the load generated by the weight of the car

Wish I'd tried that

On the upside, i managed to get a brand new conti contact sport 3 tyre for £83.16!!!

I know its a bit like bolting the stable door after Dobbin has already left. But, get the wheels taken off and put a bit of copper grease around the hub spiggot. About £7-8 for a large pot which will last forever, or a few quid for a small tube which will do a few applications.

At least then any future removal should be significantly less hastle

When that doesn't work, then driving a few feet then stamping on the brake pedal can often 'crack' the bond between the two.

Never used to get this when wheels and hubs were all made of steel.

Yeh, already being done. My dad's friend who got me the tyre for cheap is going to take all wheels off and slap some copper grease on

I had this problem the other day, I got a flat tyre, took all 4 bolts off and it wouldnt budge, in the end I called my mate to come meet me with a rubber mallet.. that did the trick

I had this back in August.

I took the car to the garage and had all four wheels taken off and copper greased.

So we can assume they are not greased from new?

I think theyre a bit stingy with it.
