Get a BIGGER hammer, put lots of tension on it with the puller, & one HARD solid wack on the top of the puller. Did I mention a BIGGER hammer?...n/m

: 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!!!!

      • theoretically you are correct, however in reality a big hammer comes in handy.... Dennis (IP: 152.163.204.192) 4/23/00 (0)
