O.k, I must be a moron. Is there a trick to getting the front wheels off? They are 2.0 liter Fuchs if that means anything. I have removed the lug bolts and center cap. By the way, is there an easy way to remove center caps that have not been removed for a long time?

As a LAST resort, if after you've pounded from the back DONT HIT YOUR RIM for god sakes and had no luck.:
1)get a length of chain, a tire chain, or some other bit of strong non-flexible chain/cable thread it through 1 or some of the spokes. 2)Get another of your wheels, or something heavy like that and attach the other end of the chain to it. 3) THROW the free wheel (or heavy object) as hard as you can away from the stuck wheel. I've never had this fail, usually yanks the wheel right off, actually use this method to remove drums/rotors with frozen bearings and whatnot.. Good Luck! Robert O |
