If the wheels are aluminum they have corroded onto the wheel studs. remove the lug nuts hit the sidewall of the tire with a heavy hammer of a sledge hammer. if they don't come off within a few hits then rotate the wheel while you hit the tire

Once the lug nuts are removed you may have to hit the inside of the tire with a hammer to dislodge the wheel.

How do you rewhy is my brakes locking down while driving?how do i rest the abs system?

You have water in the brake system, it boils and applies the brakes.
Different size tires will set a trouble code, but not apply brakes.

Will a mastercraft P205/60R/15 fit my 1995 dodge caravan 6 inch wide stock steel wheel.

yes as long as the rim is a 15 inch rim what matters is the diameter not the width of the rim however you want to match the size of you tires as closely as possible as it will cause abnormal wear on your tires, brakes , and traction control to name a few if you cant match all four at least make sure to match the two in the front and try to keep smaller tires to the front and larger tires to the back

Brake fluid leaking from front tire?

Hi
It cant be leaking from the tyre, more likely the rubber hose, if you get under it and get someone to push the brake pedal you should see for certain where it is coming from.
Do not drive the car with it leaking or you risk losing brakes completely

2004 ford explorer tire bushing on front tires, when taken off cant see where to lube them? does anyone know??? Leave me a comment at [email protected]

There are no "tire bushings". There is a complete front wheel bearing assembly that if bad, will need to be replaced. There are also no lube fittings on any of these assembly's. You need to remove the entire brake assembly, rotors, calipers, and caliper mount just to get to the nut for the front wheel bearing. Then you have to take cotter pin out of the main nut on the end of the axle, and take off the nut locking nut, you will need a 32mm socket, (if memory serves me correctly) to take the axle nut off. Then there will be 3 bolts on the back side of the axle housing that will need to come out, unplug your electronic brake wire, and the wheel bearing should fall right out.

I borgth 2002 kia rio, it has everything manual. the stearing is so hard to turn. what doI do ?

Run the air pressure in the front tires at 40 lbs pressure.
This may make it easier to steer.
This will cause the tires to wear a little faster in the center.

Have the front end steering and suspension components checked for binding or seized parts.
