Removal Tips for Stuck Wheels!

[rfkellner at snet.net (Rick Kellner)]

I have that same oak tool!  I will give it a try in the daylight and
after some PB Blaster has time to soak.
Cathy was also suggesting a similar method with a Louisville Slugger.
Thanks, Rick.

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!!!  :)

HTH,
