Subject: stuck wheel fix

Gentlemen
Removing stuck wheels without damaging the wheels/bearings or the tires (remember the side wall is the weakest part of the tire), I use a 4 ft length of 4X4 applied with a quick slap to the inside sidewall with the bolts loose.
Gentle slap, 120 deg rotation of wheel, repeat. Increase slap force as necessary.
I use Cedar for 3 and 5 series, oak for the larger series, burly rosewood for the "L" series.
