I have never had that kind of trouble getting one off!!
When I am out in the junk yard and don't have a puller, I place my knees underneath the wheel and "Push" the steering wheel toward me with my legs....and whack on the center shaft with a hammer. Always works....but I prefer a puller.
================================
: I STILL can't pull the wheel off my mav. I have tried penetrating oil, tension on the puller for 3DAYS NOW, smacking with a small sledge, I even tried a blast of heat from the propane torch today. I can't heat it anymore than that because the plastic on the wheel will melt!!
: Is there some other sort of lock on these wheels that Ford hid?! The only thing holding it on is that nut I removed, and 29 years of grime, right?
: Any suggestions? Dynamite comes to mind!!!!
