Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 187 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 187 | I took down 6-20"x 7.00" widow makers this Saturday with a tire iron, a ball joint pickle fork, and a small sledge hammer. Man thats work, :hammering: but I have been bound and determined to do this myself. Plus I saved $180.00 doing it. The 1936 wheels are differant than any thing I've heard you guys talking about. There's no indicater as to where you start and once I figured it out it went somewhat better. The one piece ring has a tapered relief on oppisite sides, and after you locate it stick the pickle fork in and hammer down. The ring begins to come out and with the help of good ole WD-40 you work it out about a fifth of the way around. Then hammer the ring toward the center of the wheel and out she comes. Take out the inner tube and liner, turn the wheel over and pound off the old tire. I did this on a 12" Douglas Fir stump, worked pretty good.
