[AJD] wheel removal, impossible??

[Bruce Mahr]

Kreig: I have the best luck with loosening the inside three bolts on the 
inner wedge a couple of turns and then driving the tractor around and 
individually hitting each brake pedal separately to help jar them loose. You 
can also take a heavy wall pipe that will fit over the axle and weld a heavy 
plate over the opening on the outer end and cutting a half moon piece off 
the inner end so that when you hit the outer end, the protruding lip on the 
inner end will hit only on the wedge you have the jack screws tightened up 
against.
