[TR] how to remove a stuck wire wheel

What I think you need is torque. Get a long piece of strong steel bar (6 foot is ideal) and two ‘U’ bolts. Drill holes for the U bolts in the tapering handle part of the octagon wrench and bolt the steel bar to it using the bolts. With that amount of leverage you should be able to shift anything. I used exactly the same technique removing wheel nuts from my old Ferguson tractor:)

Can you not get the nut off?  Or, the wheel off the hub?

 

IF all else fails you may have to just cut the nut off the hub, have you tried the smaller type wrenches that you can hit with a small sledge hammer?

 

My two cents,

Bill

I have a stuck wire wheel on a Stag parts car. It has the Octagon nut on it

 

Car doesn't move under its own power however  I can rock it. 

 

No brakes.

 

 

I have a 2 foot octagon shaped wrench.

 

 

Any suggestions?
