    I Took the lugs off with the cross wrench but there was the metal thing that you had to bend to take off but yeah that was a bitch. And the rear ones was weird too cause after I took the lugs off I couldn't take the wheel off weird. Is it because of the drum brakes? but yeah probably best thing to do is convert to 5 lug or just take to the shop I'm gonna do the second option since it'll cost less.

    The only thing you have to remove to take off the wheel are the lug nuts. If the wheel is "stuck" then it is rusted to the drum or rotor. Give it a few swift kicks and it should come loose.

    x2 or spray some wd 40 in between the drum and the wheel and then give it a few kicks

    I hope you dont mean that cotter pin on the front lug on the brake assembly...that does not have to come off to change the wheels! Sounds like you are having issues for no reason. Like the guys said, wd40 and a couple of kicks if the wheel doesnt just come off. Put that pin back and dont remove anythig else!

    +1 on that. another thing you might try instead of kicking is lowering the jack slowly just enough to let the weight of the car break the wheel free. then jack the car back up and remove the wheel.

    Dude, you want to tackle a 5 lug conversion when you can't even get the wheels off in the first place :?: Am I the only one that sees something ass backwards in your thinking? :smt011

    Guess what it worked hahaha kicking and spraying and lowering it a little for car weight to move tire itself.
