    JD A wheel hub will not move.

    On my model R same issue, we tried everything double oxygen propane torches while under 20tons of pressure and then sledge hammers still would not move. I have read release all the bolts and drive it around a rough field for an hour works! Let us know how you get on. Russ from the UK
