[AJD] Late Styled G Rear Wheel Removal

[bill gray]

I am trying to remove the rear wheels from a late styled G.  They are currently mounted with the Hub/Clamp on the inside.  The right wheel is set out far enough that I was able to get the jack bolts in the threaded holes in the clamp and remove it with little effort.  The left wheel however is mounted too close to the axel housing to get the jack bolts in the threaded holes.  So far I have tried impacting the hub from the outside through the holes provided in  the wheels, then I tried to press the clamp off from the outside using a 12 Ton hydraulic jack between the front end loader on a 4000 JD and a steel plate with 3/4" rods attached against the clamp using another tractor to react the other side with no luck then I tried heating the clamp with the same load applied.  I have also soaked it with PB Blaster almost daily for a week before I started.
   
  Any suggestions?
