Hi I tried to rotate my Prius tires on my own but the rear tire is stuck just wouldn't come out is that normal and should I force it to take it off? any help or advice would be nice even links
Go online and check the local tire chain stores for coupons. There is probably one for a free rotation. You must have bought before the free maintenance package was included.
I'd second Friendly Jacek: lowering car with loose nuts has worked for me a few times. Didn't have to kick the tires, or even lower it fully: at some point during lowering it's always broke loose. You want to ensure points of contact at back of the rim are clean. This ensures positive, complete contact, good torque. A very thin wipe of anti-sieze compound on the interface will help. Resist the urge to put anti-sieze compound on the stud threads though, at least according to the Owners Manual that screws up the torque values. I've put a little anti-sieze on threads myself in the past, but think I'll stop, and just make sure the threads are clean.
