wheels stuck

paulmac · Aug 21, 2007

Just had to remove the rear wheels to change the brake pads. The alloys however were stuck fast and took a lot of effort to loosen. Any advice on how to ensure this doesn't happen again because if I had a puncture I'd never have loosened the wheels at the roadside with the car up on the poxy little bottle jack.

I've smeared the inside of the wheel with carbon grease meantime but any other ideas?

Thanks

And torque the wheel nuts only to 130Nm thats 95 lb/ft in old money.
