I got a 2000 f350 and I have a feeling it's time to do brake pads but it could be something else. I get a squealing noise sometimes even when I'm not applying the brakes but it especially happens when turning right for some reason? Does this sound like brake pads or one of my calipers frozen?

Regardless of the matter I tried removing my drivers side rear tire and no matter how hard I pulled on the tire it isn't coming off. It seems seized on there. Is there any trick I'm missing. I removed the 8 or so lugs and lifted the truck in the air then I just pull the tire right? I'm used to working on small cars first time on a real truck. Any help or advice would be appreciated thanks.

 

What condition are your front brake pads in?

 

Front brake pads are in good condition but I think the culprit was one of the antisqueel clips was missing.

Another problem Im having is that the rear wheel being stuck. I've tried driving over bumps. Slamming on the brakes and whacking with a rubber hammer still no luck. Any ideas how to get this pig off.

 

What I am guessing at is that the center hub hole is not large enough for the dust cover of the wheel bearing in the center. Are they aftermarket rims? Sounds like someone put on a rim that was too small.

Now to get it off. If it is in the air, take a sledge hammer and hit the rim (from the outside hitting the outside of the rim)on the lower portion, then rotate the rim 180 degrees and do another smack. If you hit the bottom, the top should flip outward toward you. Then do a 90 degree turn and give it a similiar smack.

If the rim does not seem to move at all, then you are gonna have to hit it from the inside outward. BUT FIRST SECURE THE TRUCK, OVERDO THE BLOCKING,JUST MAKE SURE THE TRUCK DOES NOT COME CRASHING DOWN ONTOP OF YOU.

Actually the second idea i am not too comfortable telling you, so if you can not get it off from the outside the way that I have showed you then take it to a tire place and let them do it while the truck is up on a lift.

Oil, grease, heat will not work here. Someone bolted up tight a rim that did not fit on correctly. Make sure that the centre hole is more than big enough.

 

Thanks for the advice. Ended up picking up a 2prong puller from uhtowzone and it was able to pull it off after 2 hours of dicing around
