So I purchased a used set of 20" wheels on Facebook Marketplace for the Jeep as it's time to buy new tires. Will be painting the decorative plastic spokes and star center caps body color grey. Found a new spare on Facebook as well in the size I'll be going with (35"). In getting it mounted, I found that 4 out of 25 allen head bolts were seized so I had to drill them out and extract them with a reverse drill/extracter kit which was a real PITA. I anticipate all of the other wheels will have as many or more siezed bolts so I bought 10 addl drill bits.
I sprayed the bolts with PB Blaster and tapped the allent key socket with a hammer but did not use a torch over concern of ruining the finish of the powder coat finish. Suggestions welcomed.
Thanks!
