Im doing up my '90 VN commodore. and only jus had her with her rear raised on stands so to get to her bushes on the rear control arms sway bar pan hard etc. one of the sway bushes bracket was bent i needed to get a better angle at hitting it straight when i tried to remove the right rear rim it wont come off like its stuck or smethin. and ha ha yes ive undone the wheel nuts. anyone else had this problem. Am i doing smethin wrong. im glad i didnt get a flat whilst drivin round.

| on some of the vn wheels they have little washers in them more common on the vn s pac the best way to remove the wheel is to use a rubber mullet and hit the wheel as you spin it |

| Not to mention, if you can remove the centre cap as well as the wheel nuts, spray a liberal dose of CRC down each hole. It might be corrosion on the face of the rotor that's helping hold it there |

| Thanx guys, thought it might be smethin like that. im doin it up from scratch it was a cheap buy that has been sadly neglected one of the previous owners has hit a gutter hard on the left side which may hav smethin to do with it too. its my first commodore do up but thats why i picked the unusual VN. i look forward to more insights from members as im bound to run into head scratchin problems. |

| VNs are the HQ Kingswood of their generation. Many parts interchange between VN, VP, VR and VS, as well as between models, which gives you a huge list of customising options. Most of the technical stuff is about understanding their language. Each manufacturer has a "language" expressed in how they build cars and how to work on them. For the most part, VNs are fairly simple once you understand how they work |
