How to Release Wheel Lock?
2 Answers
Wheel lock can be released by: 1. Releasing the brake and kicking the sidewall of the tire several times with a spare tire or directly; 2. Installing an ABS system, which can effectively prevent skidding and locking; 3. Maximizing the efficiency of the brakes, reducing braking time and distance, and effectively preventing vehicle skidding and fishtailing during emergency braking; 4. Steering during emergency braking for better handling; 5. Avoiding intense friction between the tire and the ground to reduce tire wear. A wheel is a rigid rim that fixes the inner edge of the tire, supports the tire, and together with the tire bears the load. The combination of the tire, rim, and spokes is collectively referred to as the wheel.
When encountering wheel lock-up, I stay calm and handle it gently. First, lightly press the brake pedal a few times to release pressure and allow the wheels to regain rotation—if the vehicle has an ABS anti-lock braking system, it will automatically adjust the brakes to prevent complete lock-up. Remember to pull over and check the cause; common issues include stuck brake pads or clogged brake lines, and you can try using spray to clean or lubricate the caliper area. But never force it while driving—safety first! This is more likely to happen in rain or snow, so check the brake condition before driving and perform regular maintenance to replace old parts as a preventive measure. If you can't resolve it, call for professional help—safety is the top priority.
