getting alloys off steel hubs
Hi,
I visited my Audi 100 today to nick the wheels off it, and put it on axle stands so I can use the wheels for winter. However, the alloys are stuck onto the hubs (presumably bimetallic corrosion). Big hammer and a block of wood????? |

To stop this put a smear of copper grease on the inner rim of the wheels..
