It can be a struggle. Just keep alternately tightening them and usually they will come loose. You will need 3/4 drive stuff. After the wheel comes loose move it to where you want it, clean up the axle and keyway, drive a big chisel or drift into the split on the wedge to spread it a bit and move it to where you need it. The key is supposed to be pinned to the wedge and You may have to pull the wedge off to get everything clean enough for it to slide easily. HTH. mEl   [Reply]   [No Email]
