I'm trying to replace rear brake pads. I cant get the rear wheel off its rusted frozen to the hub.
Any suggestions on how to remove it
Update: Tried loosening lugnuts and driving, hitting with sledge hammer and dropping off jack, nothing worked.
Finally used penetrating oil and heated up the wheel around hub with a propane torch. Then gave the wheel a good kick and it fell off. After the wheel came off changing the brake pads took 15 minutes.
