Stuck on is right!!
Just thought I'd share my victory over the wheel that hasn't been off since '53 by the look of it.
Maybe my hose clamp idea will be useful for someone;
it keeps the hooks from letting go.
I used my Proto crankshaft balancer puller but inverted so the flat side is up.
Previously I had taken those 3 grabbers from a cheap puller with a good for nothing screw and drilled them for pins so as to use them with the Proto works. I hadn't noticed till the photos and after the wheel was off that one of my cross pins had backed out somewhat -- but it still held fortunately.
Cheers,
Terry
Oh, did I mention my favorite penetrant?
If I kept spraying after the fact the steering shaft threads and spline would actually get shiny as the brown rust streams off. I had only let it soak in for 30 minutes after removing the acorn nut.
