Removing rims

[Fatality51]

I can't get my rim off my car, you have to take the center cap out too?

[Turbov6Bryan]

No
Pull 5 lug nuts and give the tire a big kick with your heel

[03Merc]

No, just hit the bottom, then the top. Then side to side, several times. Good luck!

It's corroded to the hub , do as suggested

[Fatality51]

Alright that worked haha

I'm taking it off cause there is a clunk coming from the brake when I back up, anyone know what that is?

[Turbov6Bryan]

Check to see if your brake pads still have any meat left

When you re-install the wheel, clean off the mating surface of the hub and wheel, then apply a thin coat of anti-seize on the hub. That will help ensure it doesn't stick again.

When re-installing wheel, it might help for the future to apply some anti-sieze to the hub.

Check the e - brakes, they tend to fall apart inside the mini drum

Last winter I got hit in the rear wheel/ panel area. Car was rebuilt and luckily not salvaged. That had something to do with it I think, abs lights and traction control light doesn't turn off. Its got a few problems so I'm going to tackle it when it's nice out again.

I was pulling the wheel of my 76 Scirocco that was stuck on back around 1984. Slammed me dead center in the knee cap when it popped off. I thought I was going to die.
