Title: Wheel stuck
Post by: Beagler on May 06, 2017, 04:04:34 PM

I have a 89 tracker that I can't get the front wheel off of. It has the alloy wheels and it is stuck. I have jacked it up and took the lug nots off and beat the crap out of it with a shop hammer and still no worky. Any ideas?

I've had OEM steel wheel stick (on a different model Suzuki)  - the fit around the centre bore was so close that the slightest bit of corrosion would cause it to stick - a good kick would usually free it.

Try threading a length of chain through the spokes - if it can pass - and then loop the ends together and around a sledge and whack the chain - it should yank the wheel loose.
