How Can I Remove A Flat Tire Stuck Or Fused To The Car? by odijeks(m): 7:31pm On May 16, 2016 |
I woke up this morning to a flat right back tire. I didn't think much of it cos I had a functional spare which I brought out and set to replace. However, after lifting the car on a jack and removing the nuts, the flat tire refused to leave the wheel. I've tried everything I know, from hitting the rim with a hammer and driving a bit on the stuck flat tire, but the tire just seems impossible to remove. Has anyone had a similar experience or have any other ideas on how to handle this situation? |

Never experienced such but I always hear my mechanic talk about LaCasera for stubborn cases especially with nuts/bolts ![]() 1 Like |

odijeks: You are being gentle with it, bang it from the inside, it will come out. If that fails, bolt it up but very loose and drive it a few meters (don't spoil your tyre) it will move. |

GAZZUZZ:I drove for about a minute and half, but like u said, I was sacred of permanently damaging the tire. Probably I would try hitting it from the inside next time. Thanks for the info |

sanyahkod:LaCasera?! i've not heard of that. However the problem is not with the nuts, but likely fusion of the rim to the wheel |

@ Op have you tried injecting engine oil to the hub? This should work. |

Is this a steel, or aluminium alloy wheel? |

sanyahkod:I tried getting break fluid to the hub. I'm not sure how much penetrated through tho. I'll try using a tool to effective get enough oil there. Thanks |

Siena:Im not sure. Does the nature of the wheel determine the method of fix? |

Screw in the nuts a bit to prevent the wheel from coming off..... drive forward quickly for about 2 metres. ..brake hard.... reverse for 2 meters accelerating quickly... brake hard...go check your wheel..it should be loose....if not... repeat process but with a few people inside to add weight...the wheel will become loose. |

Screw the nuts back but loose. Jack up the car for the tyre to roll freely then hit the rim hard from the inside. It will move but pls put parking so the car doesn't rest on u if the jack fails since the tyre is already flat. |

FLAKARIBE:Had to drive the flat tire like that to the vukcnizer. Yeah, the tire was totally annihilated when I got there. But the vulcanizer removed the wheel by hitting it hard from the inside, with a steel rod. I later found out the wheel wasn't the correct size for the vehicle thats why it fused |

Use the spare tyre to hit it. |
