    Very simple

    Pop the boot

    Take out your hurley. (Not your good one, use an old one in case you damage it)

    Bate the tyre (not the wheel) like it's the only thing between you and burstin' the net in the last minute of the county final to win it for the first time in your parish in 100 years and so guaranteeing you free pints for the rest of your life as you re live the moment with a barstool and a scrunched up beer mat every Saturday night \ Sunday Moorning at about 6 am.

    Best way is to refit the bolts and then back them all off by three or four turns, drive slowly along and make a hard turn in a direction away from the puncture side, the weight of the car should pop the wheel away from the hub and allow you you to stop and jack the car and remove the wheel.
    Works every time, just make sure that the wheel nuts aren't backed off too much.
    Think about it a car weighs much more than any sledge hammer :)

    I rang Fastfit this morning, and this is exactly what he told me to do aswell.

    I didnt really know what i was doing so i asked him could he get it off if i got the car to him.

    I bought a can of that tyre-weld stuff, and i was trying to use it this morning, but it says you have to completely DEFLATE the tyre before applying it.
    I know this sounds so thick, but i hadnt a clue how to de-flate a tyre. So i had to drive the car down to FastFit with a flat. Luckily I made it down.

    The tyre just popped off so easy when they unbolted it. I was thinking it was probably cause of all the stuff we had tried on it the last 2days, and the washing up liquid my dad put on the wheel.

    They only charged me 15Euro aswell. I thought i was gonna have to buy a new tyre, but they just fixed the flat for me and put it back on. Chuffed with that. Was expecting to hand out at least 80Euro..

    Just wanted to say Thanks for all the suggestions.. really helped me out..

    It's pretty much the same as what anan1 suggested to you about 24 hours ago. Did you try it? If not, it might have worked, saving yourself some money / hassle ;)
