Re: Rear wheel removal

Try this - put the lug nuts back on but loosen them slightly.  Move the car
slightly and slam on the brakes.  Do it again in reverse.  This should break
the rust loose.

front brake rotors two weekends ago. This seemed to help quite a bit,
however after driving it a bit I still wasn't quite satisfied so I decided
to again follow the advice of the list and swap my front and back tires
(thinking it was a balancing prob.)

my boot, but no luck! I swear I have a least rudimentary mechanical skills
(I did the rotors myself) but this has me scratching my head. Any ideas?
