spacing issues?

I got issues. I finally started putting on my new rear coils. Got the first one done, but the second wheel, I couldnt get off. It seems like the center hole of my rally wheel was wedged against the center of the hub, and I can't shake it loose. Is this making sense? Any suggestions?

makes sense but I can't picture how the wheel could get stuck to the hub, but if you can start hitting the tire from the inside with a small sledge hammer while turning the tire it should break loose...

also try wobbling the tire back n forth... you could also hammer on the wheel from the inside, using a block of wood between it and the hammer to avoid damage...

I had the same problem a while back. I just took a hammer and was wacking on the tire from the back and wobbled like bigvinne said and it eventually came loose. It took a while but it came off. I tried grinding down part of the axle but it didn't help. good luck.

It may not be the fitment, but just the fact that it has been on for so long(if that is the case). We see this all the time at my work, we just crawl under with the BFH and have at it while someone is spinning it.
