[QUOTE="Veteran, post: 2421613, member: 118038"] I recently had a flat...it took 2.5 hrs to change because of cold metal welding or electrolysis of two different metals. The aluminum rims cold welded or corroded or ekectrolized to the steel hubs..... No way could pull the tire off. Shops have to use sledges up in the air. A paaserby had a ratchet. We tied it around the tire and tied the ratchet to his towing hitch. We were literally dragging his vehicle toward my car with the ratchet, still tire would not break loose. Finally he got mad and jumped up and down on the tie strip and it jostled the tire loose breaking that corrosion or electrolosis seal. Big problems when dissimilar metals cold weld together in any application [/QUOTE]
