Do not drive wedges in the three slots while you try to move the wheel. They will thighten against the splines..... .Run allthread rods into the three hub boltholes and then put a heavy plate on the rods that you can put a 10 ton jack to the end of the axel and remove the wheel. If you want a better description come back. easy

i have a 1940 A,and had the same problem.we ended up making a puller threaded rod and 1" plate to pull the hubs completely off of the splined shaft.first i soaked the axle with penetrating oil for a week.then made three bolts long enough to go through hubs and used plate like a gear puller to remove hubs. it helps to wire brush as much debris and rust from splines as possible, and spray penetrant or light oil on splines as you pull on the hub, but we did not have to heat anything. good luck!

Bob,

I had the same problem with my 50 "B" when I went to pick it up in Illinois when I bought it. I needed to move them in to get it on the trailer I was using to haul it home. I loosened the clamp and drove down a road with a ditch at the side in and out of the ditch putting side way pressure on the tire. After about six or seven times of in and out of the ditch it popped loose and began to move. Be careful not to shove it all the way off the spline doing this. You just have to be careful. I soaked it good with penetrating oil before doing this.

Dick

I have used a propane torch that didn't take the paint (old) off, followed by penetrating oil and it was enough to loosen things up. If you don't want to use heat, use penetrating oil (PB? Blaster), put you back into the tire and pound the tire with a hammer sufficiently heavy to cause some vibration. If you have the clamp (three bolt) loose you have won most of the battle.
