Can't get the wheel off.

[roccit_53 at hotmail.com (C Boyko)]

Dropping the car, now that's a plan. Maybe I'll heat the sucker from the 
centre, after putting the lugs in loose, and drop it. It sure isn't budging 
as it stands. And jacking it off, you guys, figures Anson came up with that 
one ( I miss that boy...)   Actually he could do a video, the fourteen hour 
wheel removal.
