: Well, spring cleaning officially started today, when I decided to take all the Road Star wheels off the Silver Bullet and clean them. Three out of four went great. The driver's side front is stuck to the hub though. Here's what I tried:

: - Drove it around and heated up the brakes.
: - Whacked the tire with a 2x both inside and outside.
: - Put the end of the 2x4 against the spokes and whacked the 2x4 with a hammer.
: - Cussing.

: None of this worked, although the cussing made me feel better. I was going to try penetrating oil but I felt real nervous about putting oil on the brake disk. I would have tried it if I could have reached the wheel/hub junction through the bolt holes. The nozzle on my oil can was too short though.

: Any suggestions?
