HI, Dan, something I have used for years, doesn't always work, but works most times; a two inch long piece of two by three eights angle iron, placed on the tire, "v" upside down, one edge next to the rim, drive the iron down along the rim with an eight pound sledge, hit two or three times , then move over a couple inches, do this back and forth on about a foot or so of tire, and usualy this will break it loose. Takes a little practice to keep the iron from flying away, so be careful! And remember, if you want more hitting force out of your long handled sledge hammer, cut six to eight inches off the handle, believe me this works, I stand about six foot and the regular handles are too long for me, I have swedged out many master pins on track equipment, including D8's, and I can hit a lot harder with the shorter handle! have a gooder, R.E.L.
