Helpp with Rim/Sway Bar

[Hayes90]

Today a buddy and me are replacing my old sway bar links with new ones.. we got the truck jacked up and everything right now, lug nuts are off and tire is waiting to be pulled off.. one problem. we cannot get the tire off no matter what we do.. i have a 1999 Infin Qx4. I took only all of the lug nuts off. is there something we are missing?

The wheel doesnt even wiggle at the littlest amount..

Give it some good kicks on the tire sidewall, itll pop off

^ What he said. I would also suggest putting the front axle on jack stands so you can really go at it.

we have been kicking the s*** out of it.. no budge. its almost like all the lugs are still on it and the tires on the ground

Swing a 2X4 at it. I remember way back in the day when AAA came to replace on of my tires because I couldn't get it off. Dude pulls out a 2x4 and just went to town. Hit it like SWAT breaking down a door, don't swing it like a baseball bat.

Use your heel (with shoes on obviously) and kick the sidewall from the back side of the tire. If you kick it hard enough it should just pop off. If that doesn't work, then your best bet is to try a large rubber mallet or maybe a sledge hammer, but don't go too crazy with the sledge or you could end up hitting something when it bounces back.

did you loosen them before you jacked it up?
