Decided to clean all the crap off of my rims and wheels today. Those "De-greasers" just dont seem to do a good job. I decided maybe pulling the wheels off and cleaning them that way would be a good idea until I found out the front left tire was siezed up and I couldn't get it to budge after I took the nuts off. Soo.... One: How do I remove the tire if it's seized up on the rim .. cause i'd hate to have a flat and not be able to get it off. I've only had my Disco for about 6 months now. Two: What will do the trick for cleaning the grease and dirt off the rims and tires? Thanks helm | ||

1: How are you going to switch tires on rims in the field?? Do you mean the rim is locked to the hub? Take lugnuts off, and put a piece of wood against outer part of tire, and apply sledge hammer lightly. Once off, clean area behind and around lugs. 2: STP rim cleaner + elbow grease. Try a dish scrubber brush (not metal) Handle and shape make it easy to get in the narrow parts. | ||
