If you get stuck you can sometimes get by by using the wheel itself. Put
the wheel on but leave the nuts very slack. Pulling the wheel towards
you very hard hits the studs and shocks the axle out. Be careful not to
pull the car off the supports or ruin the wheel nuts. The nuts should be
several threads on at least or you will strip the threads. AMHIK
