anyone have any suggestions of how to remove a cast hub and spoke wheel off of a six spline axle shaft? The tractor is a 1929 Twin-City KT, So far we have busted the outer flange while trying to pull it off with a 10-ton porta-power, which can be welded. we cut a slice down the shaft, still nothing. lots of heating and cooling..dual torches, dry ice. Finally we have the entire assembly off of the tractor...bull gear, axle bearings, cover plates. Now that we have it ALL off the machine, what can we do? We're afraid of using a press because the bull gear cover plate is too close to the hub and would only be able to press against the plate and not the hub. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, we're painting the tractor in the next day or two, for the big show this weekend in Sussex, Wisconsin. Sussex Antique Power Association, Inc. Go to www.sussexantiquepower.com and check us out! Thanks alot for any replys!

We got it apart! We had the wheel on its side and up on blocks. Packed the hole in the end of the axle with dry ice and alchol until the hub got frosty. Drove on the axle end with a two inch brass bar and a sixteen pound sledge. It fought us the whole way. What was holding it on looks like old grease that had turned into a black carbon cement.

I've used a jack hammer to do this job. I used a round bit with some taper. The bit was larger than the bolt hole but the point was smaller. Block up the wheel, find some way to keep the point on the bolt hole and hammer away.

Use a piece of large radiator hose over the axle end to keep the jack hammer bit lined up.
