I have a rim and a rim spacer that have been rusted together for at least 10 years. Tractor has been shedded but the stuff is solid.

I have been beating my brains out with WD40 and a rubber mallet but haven't had any luck in budging it.

Do you guys have any tips for separating stuff like that?

(Unfortunately there are no holes or anything I can put a jack on or anything)

You may want to look at a posting I made a few days ago about rust removal. You can use a battery charger and water. It will cause the rust to disapear. I restore a lot of woodworking tools and machines. I have found out that if I have rusted bolts and can't get them loose that sometimes they can be loosened after a "cleaning". sometimes you can even loosen them by hand after being cleaned.

A rubber mallet is not a tool use heavy hammer with a wood driver.
