So basically this tire is rusted on and will not come off so I busted out the trusty sledge hammer and started walking. My aim clearly isn’t the best because I smacked two wheel studs in. So now the wheel is still stuck on and there are two wheel studs stuck inside. Not sure if I am gonna be able to drive like this with the studs loose inside of the assembly. I live right down the road from the shop. Please help a brother out here I feel stupid as hell

    First jack it up and spin the wheel to make sure those studs don’t interfere with anything. Then put it back on the ground, loosen the remaining nuts two or three turns. drive slowly round in circles until you notice it has broken free. Do the nuts back up as soon as it comes loose, drive home and finish the job.

    Borrowed from other times this question has been asked

    Remove the three lug nuts, get on your back, and kick the shit out of the tire/wheel. It will come off.

    I had the same situation I was hitting the tire with breaker bar but it didn’t work. Then I used a piece of wood ( longer is better).

    Loosen those three nuts and put your vehicle nicely on jack and hit with wooden plank from inner side. Don’t hit the rim. Hit the tire.

    I had a similar problem, for me, I loosened all the lugs, maybe two turns. Then I drove at like 5-10mph slammed on the brakes. It took me probably 2-3 times of this to work. It should break it free. Just do go too fast or far, do it in drive and reserve a few times.
