Hello, I am putting a loader on my WD-45 and need to widen the rear tires out. Let me tell you they are rusty, rusty, and rusty!!!! I am try to turn the "3/4 locking cam clockwise and then I will fire it up and hold the brake on one side at a time, and boom they should go apart! Let me know if there is a trick to get the wheel cams loose, I have wd-40 them and soaked, still no luck. Could I reverse the rims so my stance would get wider? Thankl You!

Do as the others say,but you turn Counter-Clockwise to loossen.There are no threads in them,Just an eccentric bolt that pushes against a block the rails ride on.Also while soaking them,hit the end of the bolt with a 2-3Lb.hammer,you can't hurt the bolt.IF YOU should break the bolt,A-C,MF,JD or any good tire shop can get any parts you might need.

I agree with Old. I used PB blaster each morning on mine just before going to work for a week. After that they broke loose. Could not move them with a cheater 2" long before. I"ll lok at the left hand thread thing, but I thought mine were right hand. Jim

I`m pretty sure you need to go counter clockwise, and that 2 foot cheater bar may need to be stretched out to 4 or even 6 feet. Then there is an assortment of other aids: PB Blaster, WD40, tranny fluid, hot wrench, prayers, exorcism.... Some of us have tried them all with varying degrees of success. Good luck!

I would use PB blaster and or tranny fluid. WD40 doesn't work all that well for what your doing but tranny fluid and or PB works a lot better

You need to turn those bolts counterclockwise to loosen them. They are a right-hand thread. That being said, they may still be too rusty to loosen. Might have to take the wheels off, and remove the two bolts on each casting that the eccentrics are in. Then they can be cleaned up and are good for years.
