RE: Help! How do I get rear wheel off

[Kevin Merkley <krmerkley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Zack,

I wonder if you can undo the axle nut a few turns and use an impact gun 
or something that will vibrate rapidly (I'm not sure if air air chisel 
without a bit would work) and while it is vibratinng, get behind the 
wheel and beat on it.  

I had the hubs off the axles of my wife's 64 Dodge with a puller and 
inpact gun but, since the studs are turning, you can't really connect a 
puller without deflating the tire and hooking a puller onto the rim.

Good luck.

K.
