Does anyone know the size of the 'center nut' of the tire. (16' wheel)
According to my Rave cd there looks to be a 'tool' located in the bag with the lug wrench, butfor what ever reasonthe previous owner failed to leave it

Enlighten me, what is the center nut?
You have 5 lug nuts that you need to remove to remove the wheel and that's it. Unless you are talking about a locking lug nut.

 

Yeah..ok
today I had all 5 lug nuts off and the tire would not come off,
so I removed the center cap and found there was a nut still holding the tire on. (so I guess i am looking at a locking lug nut)
..and looking at the picture on my Rave CD, my bag that contains the lug wrench is missing a tool that looks as if it removes this nut.
I know it's bigger that a 1 1/16' socket..just wanted to see if anyone knew the size off hand.

 

that big center nut doesnt hold the wheel on. dont worry about it. the wheel is probably rusted to the hub. try puting the lugs on loosely and rock the car side to side.

 

NO! That center nut that you are talking about is the nut that holds your hub on the axle. You never need to mess with it.
Your wheel wont come off because the alloy rim is corroded and stuck to the steel hub.
You need to remove all five lug nuts, and with the tire off the ground kick it. Sit on your butt on the ground and take both feet and kick the hell out of the tire. Kick it at the bottom, it will be easier to reach.

 

Oh...ok!
Right on..i'll be kick'in the wheel till it comes off
THANKS!
