Max,

I can recommend the tyre inflation aerosols also. I had one occasion
(NOT an MGB), where I had a flat in my driveway. I could remove all 4
wheel bolts (they were bolts, not nuts), but the wheel was rusted to
the hub. Nothing would move it. My solution: re-inflate with the
aerosol, put the bolts back in, but 1/2 turn loose, then drive round
the block, cornering sharply. The cornering forces on the wheel were
enough to overcome the rust.

Regards,
Simon
