Wheel studs broke loose on attempted third tire rotation. mr
I tried to rotate my tires. i could not get the rear wheels off my truck. i called the dealer, currie motors, and they said they use a rubber mallet to beat the wheels off. i did this with much difficulty. i would not have been able to get the wheel off if i had been on the road and had a flat tire. i would not have had a mallet with me, and i would not have had the necessary jack stands to adequetly support the vehicle while i lay underneath it and "beat" the wheels off. the id of both rear wheels were galled after i finally got them off. the fit/tolerance of the wheel to rotor interface is not correct. there was no problem with getting the front wheels off. i contacted ford through their owner connection, but the response i received was just a form letter. i believe this is a safety issue as most people would not be able to change a flat tire while on the road . *ak
