Kevin: There is no use even atempting to loosen those wheels without clamp kit. One wedge will come loose and the other will not. Once you have the wedges torqued you can loosen the bolt and run with it loose. The wedges will never come loose. The clamp for loosening the wedges is usually left on one wheel or the other depending on which wheel was done last. That was the secret in not looseing it. The time I did my wheels, of course we went to the wheel without clamp on first. Got one wedge loose the other wouldn't come. After about two hours, called dealer to tell him I didn't get clamp with tractor, he said," it is probably on the other wheel." Sure enough it was. The tractor also came with a 6' pipe handle for wrench. You tighten those wedges to 600 ft. lbs. (100 lb. pull on the end of the six foot wrench). If that clamp is missing you will have to find one. Bone yards should have them. That was one of the first problems I saw with the set up, was people hanging the clamp in shed and not going with tractor. IH shouldn't have been so cheap and put one permenantly on each wheel. How much could that have cost in mass production? Hugh
