Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / February 2008How to get rear wheel off on 307SW?
Hi Noticed a flat with a puncture sitting on our drive. I managed to get all 4 nuts out and put the guide nut in but when I pull the wheel just won't come off. It is a rear wheel on a 307SW with alloys. I only have the supplied jack so I don't want to pull too hard. I'm sure I have followed the procedure in the user manual. Is there something else holding the wheel on?. There is plenty of clearance so its not stuck on the ground. Thanks Paul Hit the wheel from inside with a rubber hammer as alloy wheels get stuck onto the hub due to being washed and not removed and cleaned and a smear of grease round the hub will help for next time. IRT "smear of grease round the hub will help for next time" Can I suggest you use copper grease instead?

What's the difference? Dan. Copper grease is far better at maintaining it's integrity in a high temperature situation. Normal grease, in high temps, will degrade and, possibly, ignite. >> IRT "smear of grease round the hub will help for next time" >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Why copper grease?

Exactly right. Yes its the same stuff and it is very good > Hit the wheel from inside with a rubber hammer as alloy wheels get > stuck onto the hub due to being washed and not removed and cleaned and > a smear of grease round the hub will help for next time. Thanks - that did the job. So now clean the hub and put that grease round the hub and next time it will come off easy, and you will not have to hit it with rubber hammer. > So now clean the hub and put that grease round the hub and next time it > will come off easy, and you will not have to hit it with rubber hammer. In fact spend one Sunday morning (or the day & time of your choice) and do the other three wheels, so when you next have a puncture and you're at the side of the motorway in the dark and it's pouring down with rain, you are not in the same situation again. A little time spent at your leisure will save you a lot of agro in the long run. |
