Back to the street car again,
Has anyone had any luck removing wire wheels from the rear of a tr6 when the
splines are frozen solid. The car has been sitting a few years & the rears
just dont want to come off at all. The front came off (one with some
persuasion) but I cant budge the rears. The discs in front allowed me to get
to the center hub of the wheel to persuade it, however I cannot get behind the
wheel hub with a brake drum in the way.
Jim Hill offered the suggestion of a day or two of penetrating oil, which I
am in the process of doing, but what other tips does everyone have?????
I have tried the penetrating oil (kroil), by itself, with heat, and with a
combination of heat on the wheel, and cold inside the bolt on hub flange....
all to no avail. I dont want to ruin the wheels, they should be kept in tact
with the car in case of eventual sale so they could go with the car.
What do I do next?????????????
Thanks in advance.
Tom
