Prying off the Wheel

Jack up your vehicle and support it on jack stands. Choose a wood block that’s at least 4 by 4 inches (10 cm × 10 cm) and place it flat against the left side of the wheel. Make sure half of the block extends onto the rim and the other half goes over the rubber tire.

Check the wheel for any visible signs of damage or wear.
Look for any loose or missing parts that could be contributing to the problem.
Make sure you have a clean and clear workspace to work in.
Refer to your owner's manual for specific guidelines on inspecting wheels.
Take photos or videos of the wheel before starting the removal process.
