I am in the process of changing the rear rims on my 9N from the old style to the current type with loops.
I've tried to remove the bolts from the old rim with a 3 pound hammer and punch. They don't seem to be moving. Are they fastened to the rim or just rusted in place and need more persuasion?

Get a bigger hammer! Take a good sized ballpein and whack the back end of your bolts good then whack the under side of the rim directly below the bolts, keep doing this till you can see some movement of the bolt. Then screw the nut back on even with the end of the bolt, put a back up hammer against the nut and take a 8 lb sledge and hit the back up hammer. They will come out!

I just replaced a rear rim on my 2n - although I think I am going to find an original in good shape to replace the rusted out hulk from calcium in the tires. I can't hide the hoops so the rim looks original. The bolts have a square shank where they go through the rim and then the threads are on the inside. I just sprayed penetrating oil on them and let them sit for a few minutes. I left all the nuts on the bolts to give me a larger surface to pound on. They all came pretty easy after that.

if they are frozen in place, and you've tried the hammer method, you may want to try the PB Blaster Penetrating Oil, and spray it on for several days then try the sledge method.

But, if you don't want to keep banging away, use a cutting torch and just heat the bolts up til the rust frees up, and then pound em' out.

It has worked best for me to heat the bolts til their red hot, and that seems to do the trick. If ya don't own or have access to a torch, take the rims to the local tire place, or shop that fixes heavy equipment and tractors. For a nominal fee they can heat them and have em' drop out for ya. good luck...and i'm sure others will have other and better solutions too.
