Dual Rear Wheels - RUST

My 04 now has 58K and was delivered in Nov of last year....

We pulled the rear wheels today for tires and found the rear wheels rusted to the hubs.... We had to use a couple of hammers and drive the inside over the rust.... If I'd known this was going to be this bad.... I'd have done something during the first few weeks....

Some wheels center on the axle with the lug nuts and others center on the axle with the center hole of the wheel.... like our trucks....

I grabbed a flapper wheel once the wheel was off and cleaned it... and applied antiseize to both the hub, wheels and studs...

To save yourself some grief you might give this some attention... the guys in the tire shop had enough sense not to hit the wheels with the hammers, just pound on the tires..... but others might not...
