A helpful hint is to use a good quality anti-seize lubricant instead of axle grease when reinstalling the wheel. Over time the grease can harden and work itself out of the joint allowing rust welding to reoccur.
This combined with a liberal amount of torch heat on both sides of the hub just barely did it for me! Thanks I never would have thought of the puller on my own!! :)
Hi jonkwilloughby, so glad u got it! Ur welcome. Thanks for sharing ur idea. Ive got a big tiller that i need to try your method on. Ive still got my mower and my brakes and tires still holding up great since i had the wheel off. Been almost 2 years and have done a lot of mowing with it. Take care.
Congratulations on your success and learning experience. A mistake being made when pulling is by constant pulling. Debris is trapped and is causing the binding. Periodically, the wheel should be pushed back. Working it back and forth lets some debris escape and make for an easier pull.
Hi Rosey, thank u. You make a very good point about pushing wheel back alternately with pulling. Makes a lot of sense. Thanks for that tip. Thanks for watching. I wish you well. 💙
if you have an air chisel / air hammer gun use it would need a flat bit Pneumatic Air Hammer Bit use a propane solder torch to heat it up.. an air hammer should do the trick of getting it off .. think a cutting torch would be too much and using a puller
@@girlintheblueridge6529 I put NEVER seize on everything. When I run out of ketchup or mustard, I use NEVER seize. When I run out of toothpaste, I use NEVER seize. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha... ive never used that exact brand but looked it up on amazon. Youre right, great reviews. So Ive got it marked to buy next time I run out. Have a great day.
Hi btwbrand, thanks for your suggestion. Wheel was initially being taken off in order to repair brakes. But couldnt get it off and so I repaired brakes with wheel on. After the brakes were fixed, I decided to continue to get the wheel off because I was at the airport where I had help and had access to lots of tools. Also, I was taking the mower to use at an off grid location and wanted to be sure if I ever needed to take off the wheel for a tire repair or replacement that I would be able to easily get the wheel off there at the off grid location.

Those who do the work do the learning
Thank You 😊
You are so right. Thanks Phillip

Very nice I never thought of using a steering wheel puller.

Hi k2000, thanks for all your input. 👍
It helps to heat it and water hose it
Then pull it off
Thx for your tip Philip.. Ill remember that.
Heat is key to easy removal of wheels and antizee to keep it from happening again
Thanks Phillip, thanks for watching.
I sure hope that you put NEVER seize on everything from now on. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😊👍🏿
Hi Patrick, yep, I will. Thanks for watching. ☺️ 👍

Good job young lady, keep learning.

If someone has this problem take the nuts loose and drive it around. Will come loose.
Never said why they wanted to take the wheel off.
