Well. tell us what the problem was and how you fixed it, instead of deleting the post. Even if you think it's dumb, someone else may have the same problem.

I know a lot of people have trouble getting the factory aluminum wheels off sometimes. The trick there is to loosen the lug nuts and then drive it back and forth a couple of feet to break them loose.

I broke a 1/2" breaker bar trying to get a single lugnut loose on the Beast. They are rusted shut.

You're right Franklin. I broke a 1/2" breaker bar trying to get the lugs off. After I got all 8 lugs off, I kept banging & banging the tire, it still wouldn't come loose. I was wondering if it was another lock/screw I had to loosen, but after a few more bangs, the wheel came off
