Rad; One quetion, did you remove the lugs from the center, smaller bolt circle, or the one's around the outer tire rim? It is not nessesary to remove the center only the outer rim. My D-14 only has six wheel locks around the rim. In any case, once the wheel lock bolts and nuts are removed, if the rim won't budge, have someone steady the rim, another hold a piece of 4x4 against the bead of the rim and hit the board with a 5lb hammer. This should cause the rim to break loose for removal. Don't hit the rim directly with the hammer, as it will bent and could crack the rim. And the person holding the rim and tire should brace themselves, if the rim comes off the center, they can be tough to hold up, due to there wieght and awkward shape. Be careful, tractor tire and rims are HEAVY and if the tire is filled with calcium it will be EXTREMELY heavy. Once they are off, roll the other rims next to the center and lift it with a long bar while slipping it onto the wheel center, align the wheel lock notchs with the bolt hole and install eccentric bolts and nuts. be sure wheel locks are evenly tightened around rim then torque down the lock nuts. Good Luck. John W. P.S. If you will be installing AG type tires remember they are directional, mount so the rotation arrows point to the front of the tractor when they are at the top, they are on the side wall of the tire.
