2262 Rear Tire Removal

Posted by Todd W. White On 2024/7/5 21:11:11

Hello all.

I have searched throughout the forums and cannot find the answer to my question.

As a new Packard owner, I am working on the brakes of my 1949 2262. The front is done, but, when I went to remove the left rear wheel, after removing the skirt, jacking up the back and putting it on stands, the tire and wheel will not come off the car. I did read one thing about the shocks maybe being too short and preventing it from lowering far enough, but, we disconnected the shock and, while the shock had plenty of additional travel available, I still can't get the wheel off the hub.

Any help would be very much appreciated.
