Hey all,
Dunno if I just stumbled on this trick or it's commonly known -
I went to take the duals off my 4430 last week. They go in a shed that has no access to electricity. I brought along my Milwaukee 18 volt cordless impact, but they were much too tight for the impact to knock loose. I grabbed my breaker bar, but couldn't get enough force without knocking the socket off. There happened to be a 2 by 4 leaning against the wall that was "just" the right length (about 3 inches shorter then the rim height). I figured out how to wedge the 2 by 4 into the rim for each lug nut and pull against it. It had to be moved for every nut, but it worked quite slick. Once each was broke loose, the impact spun 'em out.
If I didn't explain it clear enough, and anyone is interested, I could go snap pics of what I mean. That is unless I just reinvented the wheel and everyone already knows the trick...
