Hands down the best stuck wheel removal tool I've used is a 4"x4" hunk
of wood I use for my engine brace/removal tool.  Just spin the wheel
and wind up and hit the inside of the phucker HARD and repeat until it
comes off (helps if you keep the wheel spinning so you hit it in
different spots (if you're really good you can time it so you hit
opposite ends of the wheel each time).  Sometimes all it takes is one
good whack.  Get that aggression out and take some wood to it!!!  :)
