Give the hub and the back of the wheel a good clean. If the wheel feels tight when byour putting it back on it probably isn't clean enough and you will have the same problem next time you take it off.

I wanted to change the wheels on my Carlton but they were also corroded on. I used the system that andy used, loosened all the wheel nuts and drove down the road, wabbled the steering wheel and slammed on the brakes. All four wheels came unstuck within 500 mtrs. reversed back to garage and removed all wheels with no further problem. cleaned hubs with wire brush and coated with copperslip before re installing wheels. You dont want this problem if you have a puncture and want to change the tyre. Especially on a motorway.

Right, got the copper slip stuff. Off work for a few days (Worked 13 days solid). Done all me washing and Ironing (yes i'm single).

Saturday is the day as long as the precipitation stays away.
Work to be done:
Alloys cleaned and lubed. Seat height motors lubed and fixed (hopefully). Front pipe to manifold gasket replacement. Full interior vallet. Tcut the bird sh1t out the paint work (seagulls and pigeons love the roof at my work). Removal of reversing camera and repair of the electrics it connected to.

What are the chances?

Will probably spend most of the day kicking the alloys off
