Curt: If it was installed properly in the beginning the wedge bolt was tightened to 600 ft lbs. Those tractors came equiped with a 6ft long handle wheel wrench. The loosening of that wedge bolt will only loosen one wedge. Your tractor should be equiped with a device that bolts through the wheel to force the other wedge to come loose. This device is two U shaped pieces of steel with two long bolts. When new this was usually clamped on one wheel. It could readily be changed to the other. Too many folks hung those up in the shop. Personally I always left mine clamped on the wheel. I understand you can also loosen the wedge bolt, in the position you have it, hit the top end of axle with a big hammer and the wedges will pop loose. I personally don't recommend this. An IH technician once told me if the wedges are tightened to 600 ft lbs it wont work. He also noted the guys using the hammer are the same guys that are now replacing axle bearings.
