[AJD] wheel removal, impossible?? THANKS

[wwwayne johnson]

Bobby,  Your going to put me to work.  I've got the camera and have mastered 
one thansfer of pics but I'll work on it tomorrow.  One other thing!  Is the 
rack bolt loose in the hub.  I had one froze up so bad I had to knock out 
the turning bolt which is very hard to do.
