Finally found a fix for the wheels that stick to the rear hub on a dual wheel Ford truck..I've used neverseize [ copper and silver base ] ,grease , heat , big friggin' hammer , spud bar....I drilled the wheels for jacking screws.. Each wheel has a 7/16" hole in them now , I drill another across from the factory hole and tap them 1/2-20 fine thread...works excellent....I did this last year on one of the pooches...Had to remove wheels for a brake job..Got out my grade 8 fine threaded bolts , impact wrench and voila...Wheels came off easily.At the Ford dealer , one of their " Techs" spent a whole day taking off wheels...Another way to break the rims loose is to loosen the lug nuts a few threads , and drive the truck around the parking lot " like you stole it"..

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
