Farmall H Tractor Wheel Removal

My husband and I are struggling to remove a wheel from a 1947 Farmall H. He has removed the bolts from the hub that holds the half-moon pillow block up against the axle. He has rigged the wheel such that he can pull evenly on the wheel with another tractor or a come-along. It seems to be binding at the key way associated with the pillow block. My husband is wondering if :
1. Should he be able to tap the pillow block ou now that he has removed the bolts?
2. Is the key a separate piece from the pillow block?
Thanks for any suggestions.
 
Is there fluid in the wheels? If so be danged careful as they are heavy! Be extra careful that the rear of the tractor is blocked up very securely.

If you have the bolts out, you should be able to hit the pillow block with a hammer and break it loose. Generally two people can then rock the wheel back and forth and "walk it off".

Make sure the axle is brushed off and maybe use some penetrating oil.

Be careful pulling with another tractor that you dont pull the whole tractor off the supports.

Good luck, Gene
 
Thanks for the tip. It turns out that someone long before we got the tractor had laid a strip of weld in the key way of the axle where the wheel fit against it. The problem was there was still a bit of the key on the wheel so you could slide the wheel off the axle without removing the pillow block completely. Once he got the pillow block out, everything came apart okay. We controlled the weight of the wheel and tire with a sling and the front end loader. A few bruises but no real injuries. Thanks again. Denise
