    Jack up car with all 4 nuts slackened, remove nuts.

    Using your palms smack the top of the tyre at ten past 10, the shock may release the wheel.

    When you have some free time, take off the wheels and do as above.

    It's 12 past ten now can she still hit the wheel ?

    Tell her just to give it a kick at the top, this will dislodge it...

    Should always put a bit of copper grease onto the hub to stop it from sticking
