Somebody put the rear centers on backwards.
The collor is towards the axle. can't get the three bolts out because they hit the axle housing. and can't get bolts in the holes to push collar off hub.
I threaded in 3 bolts from the outside of wheels and put a piece of flat stock steel so it could push on collar, but not working.
Any ideas?
 
yes, they were put on but, they slid the collar on the axle, and slipped the wheel on and tightened.
Now the wheel cant move. Can't get bolt out or in to push collar loose.
If they would have had it about 4 inches farther out wouldn't be a problem.

Thank god they didn't push it on tight to axle housing, they just weren't think ahead when they installed them.
 
Are the bolts for the other wedge facing out? If so loosen them . Since the guy was able to tighten what should be the outer wedge bolts you should be able to get a wrench on them. Do the jack bolts move or are they frozen?
Maybe I'm thinking too new wheel design??? Are your axles rack and pinion or splined?
 
Can you loosen the bolts at all or if you have to cut them off then can you drive a wood splitting wedge behind the collar to loosen it?
 
Can you get the bolts to loosen? You reach thru the hub holes and try using a large punch to loosen the clamps. I found this in an A operators manual.Ron Mn.
 
if you can get the three bolts loose take a torch with rose bud tip and heat the collars in one area then have a helper drive them with a bfh and large punch
 
You may have to cut the wheel clamps off with a torch. Then, pick up used ones from a salvage yard. If you are restoring a JD two-banger it won't be the most expensive part you ever buy.
 
if you take rays advise i would suggest calling around and making sure you can find some good usable ones before cutting them off...some of that type of stuff is getting picked over pretty good by now
 
Got them off. screwed 3 bolts from the out side and installed some strap steel so it would press on collar and not the bolts.
heated collar and hit with air hammer and tightened screws. Thanks
