Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

    u talkin bout an EX? if so the lug should come off unless its stripped, then u gota find some shop to rip them off, n ur gona have to find some new lugs, prolly same situation if they are steel wheels.. if anything just use the jack thingy to get it off. best of luck

      If you take the lugs off, and the wheel wont budge... give the tire a nice big whack with a hammer, and it should just pop off...

        with all the lug nuts off, just give the wheel a swift kick.

        the same happened to me when i tried to replace my front brakes but the wheel wouldn't come off. i got pissed and BAM!!! it came right off.

                  yea, they're not easy to take out.

                  just punch the tire w/ ur palm or take a hammer.

                  its in there really tight so give it a good couple of hits.

                    IT just looks that way bro, just kick the wheel and it should come loose.

                      When they're on there for a while, they don't want to come off. I laid down on my back and put all my power into a good kick... finally got it off after a few of those. It's common... and frustrating.

                          Everyone already mentioned kick it. WHEN YOU KICK IT KICK THE RIM NOT THE TIRE. If you kick the tire it just absorbs the damage. Kick the rim it shows it whos boss. Dont hurt yourself.
