Front wheels are the last thing to paint and I am installing new tires. Bearings feel perfect in the front wheels so I wasn't going to pull the front hub apart if I didn't have to, and I just wondered if you could work the rim and clamps around the hub or not. Thanks.

Take it off duct tape the hub opening, sandblast it, prime and paint it right.and paint it right. Blast prime and paint the rim while that tire is off. You will love the finished job! Do the other one at the same time. Jack and crib the pedestal. [Reply]  [No Email]

No matter what I couldn't get it to come off. I came back here to curse at you guys who told me it would, then I realized the mud slingers deal that was bolted on between the wheels wasn't allowing enough wiggle room, so I broke those bolts free to remove it and they came right off! Thanks guys! [Reply]  [No Email]

To minimize cursing the thing, jack up the other tire and place a 4x4 under it. That helps with wiggling the affected rim around the hub. [Reply]  [No Email]

It was designed to do so, in order to be able to change tire spacing. You have to hold your mouth just right, and it might take you a few tries. They will come off though. [Reply]  [No Email]
