Mike, do it like Kurt says here. Here's the TRICK: Using the SIMPLE supplied screw on knocker, Rap on a 15" Crescent with a big hammer to tighten it, with that wheel on the ground & the other one jacked up, rap the knocker once only with a BIG hammer, tighten it again with Crescent & hammer & rap it only once again before another big rap, ALWAYS retighten the knocker after each rap! The constant retightening seems to be the SECRET! I've ALWAYS been able to get them off, this way, even on those OLD MOPAR axles.
It even works on a rear end out of the car, if you put a wheel & tire on the hub you're removing.
JUST REMEMBER, HIT ONCE, & TIGHTEN, HIT ONCE & TIGHTEN, HIT ONCE & TIGHTEN!! bILL w.
