I tried the suggested figure eights with nuts loose, worked. Brakes are serviced, all set. Tnx for the advice everyone.

Hello,

group has proven to be a reliable source of information. Good work guys!



> A friend of mine has a Mazda 121 with the left front brake stuck. This

shouldn't be too hard to repair but... I can't get the wheel off. Apparently the brake got very hot and something glued the wheel to the axleplate. The wheelnuts come off easilly but the wheel just stays in place, even with the full weight of the car on it!


Has someone seen this before? I am tempted to just whack it with a 5-pounder

but I'm afraid to damage the flimsy wheel. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
