Luke, Unfortunately my wheel doesn't have any threaded holes so that I can't
force the wheel off like this. Though I've used that method to get drum
brakes off.
I might wrap a chain around the wheel, then around a large gum tree. Then
I will floor it in first gear. I'll wear an ice-hockey mask and a hector
protector for obvious safety reasons. Or I might just get the proper tool
from repco :)
