James,
I used this method to get the wheel off my 180B and it did wonders and doesn't
break your nose and doesn't require any massive amounts of physical strength,
just some brains.
The wheel should have two small holes in it close to the center bolt, they
should be threaded.
Find 2 bolts that fit into these holes and that are fairly short, i.e. so they
are just long enough to screw down into the holes and don't sit above the center
shaft too much.
Now you need a piece of steel with 2 holes drilled the same distance apart as
the holes in the wheel.
So if you haven't figured it yet, you put the bolts thru the steel and screw
them into the small holes, then as the tighten up the plate pushes on the center
shaft and the bolts pull the wheel towards you. The wheel will come off with an
almighty crack but don't be too alarmed.
Cheers
