Possible, yes,likely no. Jack it up, loosen wedge bolt until it starts to force against wedges trying to push them apart. Then turn wheel so key side of axle is down. Strike top of axle at the end with like a four pound hammer. Use lots of penetrating oil. Keep trying to turn bolt and wack it again. If you are lucky the outer wedge will come out, and then you can take a large heavy bar and with a large or larger hammer drive inner wedge out of wheel.

All the earliest tractors came with was a pair of large headed pins to hook each end of wedge.Didn't work well. Also, when tightening them, lots of anti sieze and again use the tap on axle to seat wedge, no point in over torquing them as that will only damage threads.
