Took my old wheels off yesterday to replace with the one's I bought from snoop, the old alloys were stuck on pretty well and all needed a short sharp kick to free them, however, the drivers side front did not want to come off, and I mean really did not want to.
Tryed acouple of kicks and it would not budge, ended up with a large rubber mallet and alot of persuation /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
Got it off, fitted the new ones, alls good, almost.
From the drivers front I now have a squeak (every rotation) when coasting. The squeak disappears under accleration or braking, just when coasting. It's driving me nuts.
I've not had a chance to whip the wheel off yet, but have had a look round, theres no brake smell or pulling to one side.
What do you think I've done? Serious or not? What should I look for when I take the wheel off?

p.s. I'd hate to get a flat and have to try and change the tyre by the side of the road, I used a trolly jack which held the car whilst I freed the stuck wheels, on the supplied jack I could see the car falling off, the wheels where that stuch on /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
