I purchased some land and the guy threw in his ford 8n so very new to the tractor thing. Long story short a couple months later the valve stem on the calcium filled tire broke and sprayed everywhere :shock: So I have to get the valve stem fixed but I need to get it off to take it somewhere as I am not inclined to fix on the rim.
I did get the 8 bolts off outer rim but how do I actually get it off the center disk? its has the brackets for the bolts on inside and is posing difficult to pop off. YouTube videos just show it popping off straight with no back and forth or lifting but it is impossible to do so with those brackets on inside. Do I jack it up real high so that I can pull it from the bottom then lift it above the center disc after ?
I did try to loosen the center disc nuts and just take the whole tire rim and disk but man those were stuck and have never been removed. I was using a 20inch 3/4 breaker bar but wouldn't budge. I could hit it with some PB but it looks like they are almost painted on and never been removed.
Any thoughts on the rim removal or am I doing something wrong?
