	The puller wouldn't work for me - it got stuck trying to get it over the lump at the bottom of the 2 spoker. Arse.

	Maybe it was the engine vibration that caused this ?

	Mine came off with some serious pulling around... its kinda funny i gave it a really good tug and nothing happened, and i needed to move my car otuta the drive to let my mum out, left the nut off coz i thought well it aint gonna come off easily and when i was steering back in it jus popped off in me hands lol. Think its coz i was pulling it 2wards me slightly as it was turning so it worked it off gradually all the way round? worth a try.. cheaper :P

Where exactly did you hit it ? The top of the column where the nut is. Hitting it stuns the wheel and it pops off

	no i tried most other ways first, go to vaux and ask nicely if they can remove the wheel for ya and u can fit it in like 3 minutes.

	So apart from this there isnt anything else i can try !?

	4mm steel plate shaped slighty into a hook shape at the bottom. then connected to a slidding hammer. take it to a garage it is extremely difficult if u havnt got the tools
