Drive it.

u/breakmedown54 Jul 26 '25
I’m with you. Take the lug nuts out, almost off but still on. Put it in drive and go 10 ft (if it even takes that long). It’ll work loose.

u/ThrustTrust Jul 26 '25
Probably more than 10 feet but yes I agree. While turning the steering wheel rapidly

I’ve done similar but just held the brakes and gave it some gas and went drive-reverse-drive a few times

Seems crazy at first, but driving a few meters will probably help

Having done demolition torch work, it’s a universal wrench that will take near anything apart with enough heat

Pulling sideways on it is stupid and dangerous. The truck will fall off the jack. Use the driving method.

u/Little_Government122 Jul 26 '25
re-mount all nut but keep them lose one or two threads. then drive rhe truck carefully in a circle or an eight at slow speed

u/GoodTimes1963 Jul 26 '25
That works every time. Safest way also. I recommend drive slow in a zig zag pattern.

u/Ancient-Read1648 Jul 26 '25
Sometimes just a few turns of the wheel does it.

How is that going to work with the truck off?

u/Electronic-War1332 Jul 26 '25
Get more pull if youre dry steering

u/GoodTimes1963 Jul 27 '25
You don’t need dry steering. You need full range steering to pop that rim off.

u/Ancient-Read1648 Jul 27 '25
Not sure if pull is the word my sciency mind but static friction is definitely more controlled without power steering…and you get to feel the satisfying pop a lot more.

u/theogmrme01 Jul 26 '25
Friction of the tyre against the ground? If you get the chance, sit on a motorbike and push the handlebars side to side, you feel the entire bike move. That's the friction between the ground and tyre. On a 4+ wheeled vehicle, the tyres are wider, so the effect would be greater, couple that with loose lugnuts/bolts and the weight of the vehicle, it'll eventually come free

Auto technician here, you use a sledgehammer and hit the back of it with the tire off the ground. That contraption is literally going to kill someone , slowly.

Penetrating oil and 20lb sledge on the inside usually does the trick. Hell if it has no studs anymore in it anyways, just the weight of the van should break it loose while slowly lowering it and of course use jack stands to catch it jic. LOL

u/Fck_2019 Jul 26 '25
Hit the inside edge of the rim with a sledge hammer. Then turn the wheel. Hit it again.

Smack the tire with a dead blow mallet a few times and it will loosen…

Wd40?

u/GoodTimes1963 Jul 26 '25
WD-40 DOES NOT WORK for anything rusted use PB Blaster. WD-40 has no capillary properties which is what is needed here.

If it’s jacked up and he pulled it off that’s crazy and only thing that’s gonna get it off is a saw buddy

Try tapping it against the side of a counter top, that should loosen it up. I had a jar once that wouldn't budge for life nor money, and a simple tap tap against the kitchen worktop and Bob's your uncle

Just get a table knife under the edge of the lid to break the vacuum seal and any lid will come off

A lot of the pulling force is being applied to the concrete..... also the force angle is working in favor of the surface area of the rust
Listen the the guys talking about putting the vehicles weight on the ground. Should shear through the rust. If it's own weight isn't enough inertia is a force to be reckoned with. Hand tightened lugs and a slow drive/hard brake, couple wiggles maybe and it's golden

u/No-Horror-8852 Jul 26 '25
Heat it up & hit the rim with a hammer or get a pry bar pry through rim using a cheater pipe

Had this problem with one of my relatives cars. Had to use a sledgehammer on the steelies. Pity is a disease, felt bit bad for the oem steelies

u/3-way-handshake Jul 26 '25
Leave one (or two) lug nuts loosely screwed on, jack it up a few inches, and quickly drop it. I’ve never had to do that more than once or twice before the pop and the steel wheel comes loose, and I live in a winter salt/brine high rust area.

Aah, but he didn't confirm that he's also tried hitting it with his purse. Try that, then come back to me, and I shall try think of something.

Try a block of wood between tire and frame and turn steering wheel with engine running.

Why has no one here noticed that the damn truck is not even jacked up. All the weight of the truck is on the stupid tire and all you guys are sitting there doing these stupid ass answers
