Wheels frozen to hubs, suggestions?
I have a '94 Corolla with 194K miles on it and when I attempted to inspect the brakes I encountered a problem. Either the wheels have been changed and are too small for the hubs that they're cinched down onto, or they are so rusted that they're completely frozen in place.
I was able to dislodge one of the front tires with a carefully placed sledgehammer, but after several shots at the rear tire I retired before I broke something, I'd love to pay someone to replace the brakes professionally, but after getting quotes that's just not going to be very feasible for a few weeks and I don't have the time.
So does anyone know of a "wheel-puller" tool or a solvent, or a trick to get these tires to come off easily so that I can get the brakes on this car replaced? And since I'm sure it will be an issue, tips on freeing the rear brake drums would be greatly appreciated as well.
