jack it up undo bolts

big piece of wood and twat it with a hammer

or the bodge it way and this works but you may not want to do it, loosen your wheel bolt a tiny bit and do a 10mph handbrake turn,.

and i do mean a tiny bit

but i dont reccomend this way, i have done it and its scary :lol:

I've spent about an hr this morning with a mallet & WD40 trying to get both rear wheels off but they are seized onto the hub.

Is there anything better than WD40 I could use and would a kwik fit type garage be able to remove them?

Need them off ASAP as both tyres have golf ball size bulges on the sidewall :mad:
