Concerning the wheels on the 1.5 tons and 2 ton trucks...Has anyone ever dismounted these wheels with just prybars and such? These aren't the "widowmakers" made by poor ole Firestone. I read the wheel info in tech-tips and its great, but it doesn't tell a farmer how to do it himself, and I suspect that's why these old grain trucks had the kind of wheels they had...so the farmer (you and me) could change a tire or tube right in the field.
I'd like to take mine aprt for sandblasting and such and to see if they are still sound inside. Any help is appreciated. I'm assuming that you let the air out of the tube...remove the valve stem...and pry the "snap-ring" off and then everything's free to come apart???Thanks, Jim
