Might be a good time to change those hubs. Oil bath is the most durable, but immersing them is a problem. My favorites are the one's that use grease but you pressurize with a little basketball pump and needle.

Consider it a blessing, going down the road and get a flat with no way to get the wheel off.... might be a good time for a little PM on the rest of the wheels....

I watched my grandpa freeze one once, then hit it with a big punch and inertial amplification device and it snapped right off....

you could remove all the valve stem caps and slide another trailer under them.

05-12-2010 07:28 PMOK, the hub covers screw off from the outside, still not sure I can get the caliper out of the way with the wheel attached, but we shall see.
For the alignment problem...........
Should these be level, or at least pivot freely?
The tire that is wearing the outside is 1/4" more spacing hub to hub than the other side, that would explain the outside wear, if these are stuck like this??
first right, then left, the pen in the pic is front on both sides.
