I need help!
I just bought a cobra that has been stored for over 3 years.
I am having trouble removing both front & rear wheels on the passenger side only. The rims are halibrand knock offs. Anybody with these rims had this problem before? :CRY: |
Rich
the haliband knock offs may have reverse threads. try turning theml to the right and see if thay will come loss. Hopes this helps Bill |
The wheels on the right side of the car have left hand threads. The left side has right hand threads. So the passenger side has left handed threads, you are turning the wrong way.

I bet the're real tight now!

Shoot some penetrating oil on them, let it sit over night. It will help with the over tighten.
Just remember: Tighten clockwise driver's side, tighten counter clockwise, passenger side. Another way to remember is they tighten AGAINST rotation. Car going forward, spinner going backward. |
Only use a lead hammer on the spinners. It will not mar the finish or damage the spinner.

i love this site
