Consumer Description

I TRIED TO ROTATE MY TIRES. I COULD NOT GET THE REAR WHEELS OFF MY TRUCK. I CALLED THE DEALER, CURRIE MOTORS, AND THEY SAID THEY USE A RUBBER MALLET TO BEAT THE WHEELS OFF. I DID THIS WITH MUCH DIFFICULTY. I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET THE WHEEL OFF IF I HAD BEEN ON THE ROAD AND HAD A FLAT TIRE. I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD A MALLET WITH ME, AND I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD THE NECESSARY JACK STANDS TO ADEQUETLY SUPPORT THE VEHICLE WHILE I LAY UNDERNEATH IT AND "BEAT" THE WHEELS OFF. THE ID OF BOTH REAR WHEELS WERE GALLED AFTER I FINALLY GOT THEM OFF. THE FIT/TOLERANCE OF THE WHEEL TO ROTOR INTERFACE IS NOT CORRECT. THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH GETTING THE FRONT WHEELS OFF. I CONTACTED FORD THROUGH THEIR OWNER CONNECTION, BUT THE RESPONSE I RECEIVED WAS JUST A FORM LETTER. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS MOST PEOPLE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CHANGE A FLAT TIRE WHILE ON THE ROAD . *AK
