That's a dually little different then a single

Did you try cursing while you hit it?

Probably won't help but you might feel better.

You could try swatting at it with your purse.

True, but I've had singles I've had to fight too.
Granted, this was the worse I've ever dealt with

Maybe jump in the back seat with that young single neighbor. That may get it loose.

LOL

With my f350 a big hammer is part of the tire changing tools

Well....it's been 9 hours ....did you get the wheel off yet ????

Davep at that rate you need to find an old sprocket puller for the final drives of a Cat dozer.

A propane torch where the rim meets hub works. It makes the hole in the rim bigger and will just about fall off. Keep the torch moving around and around so you don't overheat any spots and melt the paint or clearcoat. It doesn't take all that much heat to work.

Lord help us.. That's funny!

Are you talking getting wheel off the car or breaking the bead to get the tire off the rim?

😂!!! I’d probably end up just like that ol, bobbitt guy we all heard about some time ago.

It won’t be at least until Saturday until I have a chance to attempt the other side..

Been clearing trees and brush all day and trying to get what I can done before this crazy sounding weather moves in.

Tire off the vehicle

I’m apprehensive about using a high heat source because of the aluminum rims. I’m nervous about melting them

I have aluminum frying pans

so 450 isn't going to melt a thing

aluminum has a melting temp of 1221 with a recrystallization temp 650-750

you just want to keep that torch moving and warm it up to get the aluminum to expand different than the steel behind it to break the galvanic corrosion from aluminum and steel

now the plastic coatings they might have on the aluminum to keep it from turning black that might melt off but it will be drivable and that seems to be all that matters

you are going to start smelling hot rubber way before you melt an aluminum rim

Welp, brakes pads and new rotors have been replaced,, but she’s got wayyyy bigger fish to fry,, transmission is shot… at first I thought it was a parking brake issue.. but when I put it in reverse it moved just fine,, when I put it in drive and the lower gears , it just bucked and jerked,,, I told her that is going to be a bigger job than I can do because it’s a 4 wheel drive and I’ve only done cars and trucks with 2 wheel drive.
that transmission is not going to be cheap.. used transmission for a 2005 ford expedition is probably in the thousand dollar range on a guess
I feel badly for her…
An option might be to sell it and then take the money to buy something used to get her by.
