#207 - C8 Spyder - Burnt Almond Orange / Black

[mrobin33]

I stupidly overtightened this wheel last year, and now it won't come off. Not even with two people on the extended breaker bar. The brakes, emergency brake, in gear, and a wood block can't avoid the wheel to turn in place.

Next weekend we'll continue. We'll be adding a wheel chock, lower the air pressure (?), sledge hammer the breaker bar to shock it into release. We might need 5 people

Any way your can get some heat into it? Please do NOT point a blow torch at your car on my advice... but maybe there's a way to localize some heat into the shaft/nut, or use heated blankets etc. May just make a small difference.

Try to use WD40. It might will help.

WD does not hold a candle to these two

... when I was a kid I helped raise church bells into the tower of a new church in Luzern Switzerland! I am afraid I have no pictures of that event, but found similar ones. In Zurich "Enge" for example, in 1894 they used 1,000 schoolchildren to raise even the largest bells (together 16,000 lbs) all the way up to the bell tower. See pics....

... what can we learn from this?

--> make the removal of your wheels a local event! A big party, invite school classes and a brass band! It will work!

Very cool. Makes me want to see the movie Fitzcarraldo again
