Formula wheels stuck
Sat for 23 year. Wheels are stuck and I don't want to break them and don't want to use heat. I sprayed on blaster and WD 40. No luck

I got them! Pry bar hooked end through a slot and tapped on end of axle lightly with a hammer while keeping pressure on the bar.

Re: Formula wheels stuck
Normally if the car runs you can loosen the nuts a bit and drive on them a bit too if needed..

It doesn't run. Not yet anyway. I want to clean the gas tank before I try to start it after sitting for so long. Supposedly he started it every few months up until a year or two ago

Re: Formula wheels stuck
TTOP350 beat me to it. Loosen the lug nuts SLIGHTLY and go for a ride around the block, hitting the brakes and taking quick and hard left and right turns.
Yeah, I read - not running yet.
