Well, finally getting to doing my rear brakes. 1973 m375 with dual frame mounted boosters. So I get the lug nuts off with a groan and pull the first tire off. I get to the inner tire and its stuck on. Ive come across this before, so I give it a kick from the rear and no luck. I dont really want to pound on the rims, but I tapped around the studs and have been spraying pb inside and out on rim. I dont have a torch. Im thinking a small bottle jack to press it off, maybe? hmmm Pull it off with my car??? Hmm Any ideas guys? Tanks

Does it have Budd wheels?  If so, the studs for the outside wheels are nuts for the inside wheels.  You will need a square drive to remove those and then the wheels will come off.  Rick
