Andy, while all that penetrating oil doesn't hurt it really doesn't soak in very far without additional heat or help.. ~You do have a mess on your hands there don't you? ~You are just going to have to work at it till they come loose.. ~Start by removing the 3 cap bolts on the inner side of the wheel [the other sleeve bolts].. Then if you have heat [like a big torch] heat the wheel & sleeves at the axle area,, then give the outer end of the axle a couple of good HAD swats with a 10-15 lb hammer.. [don�t over do the axle end hammering or you will be putting axle bearings in it]. ~My guess is the above won�t get it loose [but it might work if you are lucky & is easy to try]. ~Other than that your next move is to make a long pipe to slide over the axle shaft with a small enough OD to slip inside then wheel as it pushes the wedges [sleeves] out. Then heat the wheel sleeve area again & slip the pipe over the axle & try to drive the sleeves in.. ~If the pipe trick doesn�t work you will probably have to drill out the wedge bolts & try to get functioning wedge bolts in those wheels.. The pipe & working wedge bolts will probably defiantly get those sleeves out.. ~A problem like you have kind of has to be addressed by trying many things & following up on the ones that seem to be working. You must be flexible & try different things as the direction of the job changes.. Good luck & �let the beating begin�.. [email protected]
