I posted about 2 months ago about the rim of my I-6 which was stuck solid(rusted) to the hub. I've been trying to get it off for some months now. The hub is 3 inches thick cast steel with a flange on the back which the rim clamps against with the usual IH rim clamps. There is about a 2 inch wide flat surface on the hub that the rims raised center slides on with about 1/8 inch or less clearance. That clearance was filled with rust from the last 60 years I suppose. I got it off today and I am so happy!!! I made a puller from 2 inch square tubing (3/8 thick) to pull on the back side of the rim with 5/8 bolts and threaded rods though the clamp holes. You can see parts of the puller on the floor in the picture. It took several days of tightening and retightening to finally break it loose. PB blaster, a three pound hammer and finally an impact wrench got it. I finally saw it move some yesterday and figured I could get it today. Now for the other side!! Hope it's not as tough. When these are off, I can fix the brakes.
