Hi Listers,

I'm home after picking up my TR4A in Pennsylvania.  I post a note 
about the trip later today, however at the moment I have a problem. 

I can't seem to remove the Octogonal knockoff nut from the right rear 
of the car.  This is the first one I've tried to remove.  I know I'm 
trying to turn it the right direction.  The knockoff has an arrow 
pointing in the UNDO direction.  I've tried upto a 2 lb sledge hammer 
with no success.  Are there any tips or secrets that would assist me 
in the task?  Any and all suggestions welcomed.  I realize this might 
have been covered before on the list but I didn't think I would ever 
have wire wheels to contend with so I didn't scan those.

TIA


Brad
