ok... stupid question, but I need help, sorry
[hah]


How do you change a (front) wheel on a BMW 316i E36?

Just bought an old (1993) beamer, (My first car) but I can't seem to get the wheel off, All the nuts are off and cars jacked up. Is it different to other cars?

It might just be stuck and need a bit more force , but I don't want to force anything that does'nt need it.
[bash]

Any help much appreciated

If you have all the bolts out of the hub and the wheel is not budging, make sure the car is stable on a stand or two and just kick the tire (the wheels gets rusted to the rotor and makes a bond). You might want to put one bolt on a little bit of the way just so that the wheel doesn't fall on the rotor backing plate.

Have fun with the wheel.
