I am changing my springs and PO had wheels off in 02 when they slid off. Now with nothing holding them they are on there. I haven't got the puller but fabed one from a flat plate of 1/8 steel with a close fit on the shaft and a wheel puller. Nuthin, ruined the one wheel already. How do you get those ####s off with the bearing to wheel lock buried under the spring and no way to get at anything but hit it with the gas axe. I will cut the one off with a demo saw but for the other whats the secret. They already got the PB Blaster overnight treatment. This is right up there with something off my 49 Caterpillar but I can't put the dragons breath in there to force it. WTF. Just like with the dozer I keep waiting for the track fairy to show up and nuthin...

are you trying to get the retaining ring off so you can release the wheel from the bearing? If so get a retaining ring remover from a local auto parts store like autozone. Use the 90* tip and you should be able to remove the ring and slide off the wheel. The bearing may be a different issue. I usually just end up cutting the bearing off and clean the shaft with emery paper then install a new bearing (there cheap)
