How do you change the wheel of a Hyundai Santa Fe 2004 model?
rshiamsundar asked:
The right back wheel of my Hyundai Santa Fe was punctured and I’ve removed the bolts and such and tried to remove it but it won’ come out, I really need to get this working fast as I have work. If anyone has ever experienced this before and would like to share your help, please do. In my view, the wheel looks like it’s weld onto the axe.

if you don’t know how to change a tire, don’t drive.
You need to muscle up on this one. Use a hammer and wood block or a mallet and beat the f**ker off. this happened to a friend of mine with a hyundai. its not welded to the axle. use brut force to get it off. drive it 5 or 10 feet if you have to.
Yes, the wheel is rusted to the brake hub. Take all the lug nuts off except one (loosen it) and, if car is on the ground on a jack, kick the tire until it breaks loose. If kicking it doesn’t do it (or your foot is sore) get a big rubber hammer and strike tire both from the front and from the back it should break loose.
no antisieze at time of instalation = wheel rusted to hub!!!
great quality of Hyundai
see if you can free it up by striking with a hammer, just don’t bend the rim!
