Thanks for the response. Hmmmm, well I tried to wedge a piece of metal in between the lug and wheel but that did not work. One more thing. The car cannot be moved, not because of the swap, but because I bought the car non running. So I had the car towed to my house and put in the garage. You said that the prybar would go between the hub and mounting surface of wheel. do you mean the back side of the wheel then. Also would it be possible if nothing works to try and take the whole knuckle assembly off?
