    sticking wheels

    Last fall I had a really hard time getting the factory rims off the marauder. They were sticking to the hubs really bad. Before I take the steelies off and put the factory rims on I was wondering if there is something I can apply to the hubs so the rims come off easy next fall. Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance.

    A very light coating of grease will work wonders.

    Use anti seize on the mating surfaces on the rotor. Only need a small amount. I would never use anti seize on the lugs. If you do you need to account for it when torquing the lugs. Instead of using anti seize make sure the threads in the lugs and studs are clean.

    Easy way to get "stuck" rear wheels off:

    1. Loosen all the lugs about 1/4 to 1/2 turn
    2. Attempt a short burnout (maybe hard for the DTR's )
    3. Jack the car up, remove the lug nuts
    4. Remove the wheels


    Clean the mating surfaces, use a small amount of anti seize on the mating surfaces.

    Really? Hmmm I've always put a very small amount on them. Never had issues...

    Now loosening a lug and doing a burnout sounds very bad to me

    1/4 to 1/2 turn and a short power brake burnout won't hurt anything.

    Remember you'll only have to do it once since you will be cleaning off the rotor and wheel mating surfaces and using a small amount of anti seize.
