Pulling Rims

Posted by GordoSD on August 01, 2005 at 15:25:56 from (64.68.166.234):

After several hours of hard pulling with cheater finally got the outer nuts and retainers off the SMTA rims. And the brakes came off easy. Now the hard part. This old gal was a dairy farm tractor. Get the picture?
Have soaked the inner nuts for a couple of days. Tried the air, nope. Tried the cheater, nope, cut one with cold chisel. That's not another option. One is spinning, will need neighbor with another cheater on the other side. Only got 10 to go.
What's an easier way? There's no room to use a sawsall or die cutter in there. Hell, what's the hardest way to get them off?
Got to pull the wheel in order to pull the axle assembly, in order to pull the inner wheel bearing. I found a .6835 diameter ball bearing, and six pieces of the bearing cage in the tranny case bottom when I pulled the PTO.Is that the sizi of the inner axle shaft bearing balls? (note: no half moon key in the pto shaft keyway).
Have a mountain of parts laying on the floor and I'm not 1/2 way there yet?
