unsiezing a wheel

[mossy]

The rear left wheel (drum) has seized on my mk1...As it does not run, i need to push it onto my trailer....

 

But i cant move it as the wheel is locked on....How can i solve this? Big hammer to take the drum off and then clean it all up?

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

bray the drum off with a big hammer

[RedditchJay]

use a good soft face hammer, copper or hyde.... NOT METAL as you will dent your drum..... hit the drum all around teh edges working around and around, you can try to hit the lip but watch you dont catch teh backplate.......

 

HTH jay

If it has manual adjusters you can wind them out a bit

i always use my hammerfor

[mossy]

tried a gentle persuasion with my copper hammer....and nothing happened! a lot of dirt and dust but that was it.

 

so.........I smashed the fook out of it with my big hammer...And still stuck!

 

Need to put it on a trailer by sunday!

cook the f*ck out of it with the biggest blowtorch you can find, *then* belt it with a big hammer.

[Cookie]

Are you hitting it from all sides m8?

 

as in smashing fook out of the front, then the sides/top/bottom and then the back like?

 

hit it hard as poss all over to try and break the rust

[MK2Ed]

Spray it with WD, leave overnight then give it a good smack...

[Burns]

got a spare axle lying about?

[escort21]

Sod it.....stick a roller skate under the wheel

[john_3.0s]

i use a big pry bar just under the lip of the drm the you can use the biggest hammer u got to clobber the bar and free off the drum but they canbe a bitch

[bortaf]

Put an old steel wheel on and bash that with the biggest hammer you can find, don't hit the drum with a big hammer or it may shatter

[james p]

hit the back of the drum it should free off enough to roll oh hook it onto anouther car and drag it down the road

[lee_capri]

get a slege hammer and smack fo*k right on the front or rim if you want the rim best change it have never had this style not work very big hammers work on eveything the bigger the hammer the better just mind ware your nuts are the ones on the car

[mr shag]
