Hello guys, hope everyone is well. Can i please share something about my octavia mk3 2017 110 ambition manual. Yesterday i was trying to put different set of alloys on my car and when I try to open the front tyre and i open the all 5 lug nuts jacked up the car but couldn’t open the wheel, it just don’t wanna come out. Is there any step im missing or some special bolt or extension bolt. Help 🙏🙏🙏

Welcome to the forum.

 

There will be a bit of corrosion sticking the alloy wheel to the steel hub. Remove all the wheel bolts, sit on the ground and give one side of the tyre a whack with your foot. That should release it. If not give the other side a whack.

 

Put the other foot in the centre of the wheel to help keep it in place and be ready to catch it as it comes away.

Loosen all five wheel bolts by half a turn. Then drive the car about 2 metres (6 feet) so that the wheels rotate one revolution. That should free the wheels from sticking to the hubs. This lets the weight of the car do the work, not you.

Try a pouring a bucket of very hot tap water over the alloy wheel.

 

Loosen the wheel bolts a turn or two, lower the car so the wheel is on the ground. Then rock the car side to side by pushing at the top of the doors. Usually does the trick.
