Scruffy: When you loosen wheel, have clamps down. Jack tractor so jack is taking weight. Loosen the clamps off and completely remove them. They need the threads cleaned and lubricated anyhow. then just lower jack enough to let wheel tip which ever way you want to move on axle. Rejack when wheel reaches spot on axle where you want it. Its best to use two people, one on jack and one on wheel. Depending on how far you move wheel on axle it may be best to do in two or more stages or jackings.

I have moved 20.8x38 this way full of chloride, the actual move takes little more than a minute or so. You will never regret cleaning those clamps and bolts and adding some lube. Time well spent.
