How 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?

Why copper grease? 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.

 

Is this the same copper grease you put on the edge of new brake pads
before you fit them? Apparently it stops squealing.
Dan .

 

Exactly right.

 

Thanks - that did the job.

 

Yes its the same stuff and it is very good

 

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.
