Thanks for Your Help

Yup, I use the ultra slick product noted in a screen shot in above post. I put it on the caliper pins, pad tab sliders, backs of the pads themselves, and a thin layer on the piston surface.

No issues or troubles with this product.

I attempted the job.. can't get the tire off.. :( I dropped the truck on it, I kicked the crap out of it. I tried prying it off, wouldn't come loose. There isn't any rust or anything on the nuts, I really think if I had an impact gun it would have been better but using hand tools it just didn't want to come off.

So I guess I am going to bite the bullet and get Chrysler to do it.

Do you mean you couldn't get the wheel nuts off, or the nuts came off but the wheel is seized to the hub?

AutoJunkieMan

Wheel was stuck on the hub, probably salt built up or so, tires haven't been off in around 10.000kms or so. Haven't been rotating them as often as I wanted, only recently got a jack.

A few good swings at it from the inside with a 12lb hammer will get it off. been there, done that.

I agree with the sledge hammer trick. I have to do that most times with my pick up truck. The best thing to do is leave one of the nuts on partially then the tire doesn't go flying off when it breaks free. It doesn't take much effort to do and you hit the rubber of the tire not the rim.

AutoJunkieMan

Yeah I know that trick, I left one of the nuts on it, and I kicked the tire hard. I even leaned up against the vehicle behind me and braced myself and kicked it hard. I am a 280lb guy, so when I kick something I mean it.

Geez! That's not right. Assume you've tried hitting the tire at multiple locations to try and free it.
Keep trying with lots of patience I guess, dam! Good luck!!

I read the other day that Aluminium and Steel tend to bond really well, so alloy wheels sometimes tend to "stick". So I guess I need a big hammer, but I'm planning to switch to steel rims later on down the road. Maybe it'll help.
