212

Hi anyone got an easy way to remove the rear tire off from the hub assembly? I removed all the nuts/clamps and smacked the back with a sledge hammer with no luck so then I put my backhoe blade on the backside thinking I could jar it off but no luck. Am I missing something or are they just that difficult to remove?

Hi Clayton,

they are usually a mongrel to remove due to the tapered seating between the rim and hub--picture a full circle spider type hub on a truck.

Maybe make up a tooling using a hyd. or a screw jack and apply separation force from the opposite side rim/hub after refitting loosely, a few clamps and nuts, to stop the wheel flying off and damaging something or more importantly someone.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Eddie B.

Hi, Clayton.

LOTTTTZA 'loose juice' and probably a fair bitta patience, maybe the occasional cuss word too. If you still have the original drawbar in place and itza rear wheel on the tandem, a porta power might help. For a front tandem wheel, you might be able to set up a porta power between the main frame and the rim - might be able to do that with the rear tandem too if you jack up the front of the tandem case a little.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of how you might use a porta power onna front wheel.

Just my 0.02.

Well I had some success today got a decent workout lol!

Hi, clayton.

Congratulations.

Side note. There's a contractor here that has a 212 with a manual (winch) operated wing plow made by OmhSteel. The miniature size of the machine and snow wing is interesting.

Well done on leaving the rim mounted and simply? removing the tired tyre from same.
