I'm close by if you need some help/tools etc. Well I'm in Stafford. Check your owners manual it may have one of those weird bolts holding the wheel to the hub. Also kick the hell out of it.

My Chevy work truck has a bad problem with the wheels sticking. Beat on the rubber with a mallet and you can usually get it free.

I had a Mazda hat I had to loosen the lugs and drive around the block swerving just to break the wheels free. I bet I could have taken off the lug nuts and driven it gingerly for miles

How many miles on the spare ?

If not full sized, the speed is the more critical factor. Typically under 50mph for less than full sized spare. I have seen some spares that say not more than 50 miles (my old 1970s Toyota,from back in the day).

I'm guessing alloy wheels corrode-welded themselves to the steel rotors. Happens real fast in the rust belt, but can happen anywhere with water and dissimilar metals making contact. I've learned to put anti-seize on all alloy wheel to steel rotor wheel surfaces.

Folks like me that work on old tractors have a trick; loosen the lug nuts and do figure 8s'. E-Mag <above> mentioned it, too. Works.

Some vehicles are hub-centric and some are lug-centric. On hub-centric vehicles it's common for the centering lip and wheel to be damn tight, even steel-steel.

Pro tip - if the wheel is sticking (probably caused by clear coat and dog pissing on wheels)

Loosen the lug nuts about 3-4 turns out and drive the car at parking lot speeds, turning helps too.

you will hear when it breaks loose

you can also drive on them to break the weld of the aluminum to the hub, just put the lugs on most of the way

every one of us had the same advice

Yesterday was my first day back from a planned five day vacation.

Did I mention that it turned into a six day vacation because I had to leave work one day earlier because I came down with a four day flu?

whats a vacation

If your tire will not come off after removing the lug nuts put the lug nuts back on loose. Drop the car and drive it for about a 1/4-1/2 mile and your tire will come loose. You should hear an feel when it pops, don't drive too long after it does. This is a quick and dirty "side road" method.

Yep nothing a swift kick or three can't fix.

Bumper sticker on a truck leaving the part of Newport News shipyard that builds nuclear subs.

" If it's stuck force it, if it breaks it needed to be fix anyways"

Smear a small dab of anti seize on the back of the wheel that seats against the hub.

I have found in my 54 years on this planet that kicking the shit out of certain things is necessary to get the desired result.
Hope you made your charter.

I had the first year Tacoma with aluminum rims. I would have to get under the truck and beat the tire with a bat or metal pole. They did like to bond.

Good to hear you got it. When I worked at the tire store I learned a well placed donkey kick solved a lot of problems.

I guess no news is good news, Had he missed the boat, he'd have had a chance to post.

I suppose they were able to wait a bit for him.
