My cv boot is split on the front passenger side of my car. There is grease all over the inside of the tire and on the brakes. I've purchased a quick boot kit to put on but the tire won't come off. I've removed all 4 lug nuts but the tire seems stuck on and I've tried really hard to pull it off. Have you ever heard of this and do you have a suggestion for a solution? I would really appreciate any help I could get with this to avoid having to take it to a shop and pay a lot of money.

Thanks,
Isaac

Hi there,

You will have to give the tyre a decent belt from behind, leave a nut on loose just in case, If still stuck replace all nuts, not tight jack car down, & turn steering lock to lock, this should free up the rim on the hub.
