Hi Bud,
Hope to see some pictures of the basket TD.
About the stuck wheels:
lift the wheel
make the hub real hot
then tap with a hammer on the outer side of the rim
turn the wheel 30 degrees and do the hammering again
When I'm in the area again I'd like to have a look at your new project.
It will keep you from the bars for some time...
Good luck.
Hans

Subject: Stuck wire wheel
My 'new' 52TD has the TF wire wheel conversion. It hasn't been on the road
since '66, ergo, the wire wheels have grown quite attached to their hubs.
Any
hints on how to get them to break off their intimate relationships? Please
don't tell me to drive the car in circles with the knockoffs loosened. That
stage is probably three years down the road. Is there an existing puller
that
can be used? Has anyone modified a gear puller to grab the lip behind the
outermost spokes? TIA.
