This is one method of loosening/removing the half key sleeve (wheel hub).
[b:654c4848f0][i:654c4848f0]<font color="#ff0000">Please be mindful of common safety steps; expressed or not.[/i:654c4848f0][/b:654c4848f0]</font>
Take a look at the [b:654c4848f0]REAR WHEELS[/b:654c4848f0] diagram below.
Note the cast disk rear wheel (Key 6), special plated bolts (Key 7), jack screw (Key 8) and key half sleeve (Key 13).
Take a look at the photo below of the three, special plated bolts (cap screws).
[b:654c4848f0]OPERATOR'S MANUAL OM-R2032R[/b:654c4848f0] on page 36 states: "[i:654c4848f0]Loosen all three cap screws and screw them out 1/4 to 3/8-inch.[/i:654c4848f0]"
Raise the rear wheel axle, rotate the tire/wheel/cast center and apply your favorite penetrate in the indicated spots.
Apply your favorite penetrate on the other side of the key half sleeve in the indicated spots.
The penetrate used on all our tractors is a 50/50 mix of acetone and automatic transmission fluid.
After applying penetrate on both sides, use a small, 10 pound hammer to "lightly" tap both half sleeves on the back side of the tire/wheel/cast center.
Rotate the tire/wheel/cast center 180<sup>o</sup>, apply your favorite penetrate, and "lightly" tap both half sleeves again.
Take a look at the photo below of the jack screws.
Note the mushroomed head and thread wear; use a socket or wrench instead of a hammer on the jack screws.
Rotate the tire/wheel/cast center so that the key half sleeve is on bottom.
You might consider tapping the threads in both holes before inserting the jack screws.
Insert two jack screws in the two holes between the cap screw holes.
[b:654c4848f0]OPERATOR'S MANUAL OM-R2032R[/b:654c4848f0] on page 36 states: "[i:654c4848f0]Turn the two jack screws clockwise with a wrench until the outer groove in each jack screw is flush with the outer surface of the wheel hub.[/i:654c4848f0]"
Take a look at the photo below of the grooves on the jack screw.
Repeat: apply penetrate, "lightly" tap both half sleeves, rotate the tire/wheel/cast center 180<sup>o</sup>, apply penetrate, and "lightly" tap both half sleeves again.
Repeat: rotate the tire/wheel/cast center so that the key half sleeve is on bottom.
Repeat: turn the jack screws clockwise until they are both tight.
Keep repeating the above steps until the key half sleeve comes loose.
It may take a while to get it loose so be patient.
Hope this helps.
