i've searched everywhere and unfortunately don't have a manual. I assume there's a nut under the volvo logo in the center of the wheel. But don't want to risk breaking it until I find out for sure. Do I use the wedge on the stock crow bar? Is there a certain way to get it off?

Thanks for your help

I took all the nuts out and the wheel was still very attached. It was the only place icould see where the could be another nut. I'm having to do this on my iPhone solo if I could just get an answer thatd be great

Some time the wheel can be quite stuck to the steel, corosion, dirt, you name it..
Once, during a bad weather, I called AAA to come and serviced my flat tire. the guy just kicked the tire down with his heal and the wheel came down.

I hope this help :beer: .

you can also loosen all the bolts, don't take them off, lower the car until the tire just touches down, that usually breaks the hold. also, if you actually think about it, there can't be an actual nut under the center cap because it wouldn't be attached to anything, the axle is there, it would interfere with the tire turning. mostly. now watch, there will be a member who will show that there is such a type of lug nut and i'll be the stupid one. and it wouldn't be the first time :grin:
