Wheel Removal for Tire Change

[EEL]

If you got the big nut off the right side, thats it.. Your wheel might be siezed on the drive pins. Spray some wd-40 into the crack between the wheel and the hub and wait 5 minutes. if you have a rubber mallot, tap the left size of the wheel to dislodge.

Oh..looks like the doc beat me to it.

Thanks fellas.  Ran out of time for the evening for this.  Will give it a try upon return from some very much needed R and R.

But to add something productive,  when installing the rear wheel you must make sure that the 4 hub pins align with their holes. This is one of the few ways to botch the job.  For those of you who are less vain,  a paint pen or sharpie can be used to mark the outer hub to make alignment from the threaded side a no brainer.   Rear wheel swaps can literally be done in less than 30 seconds, a bit longer with a beer in one hand...     Wheel changes are not rocket surgery or brain science, just an understanding of where the slack comes from.   Now back to my regularly scheduled hangover...

Finally got more time to fiddle last night. Liberally applied wd-40, grabbed a beer, came back and gave the wheel a good tug. Off it went. I took notice of the pins as I was cleaning the aluminum bushing, hub threads, and wheel. I can't see how you could mess up the install, but I'm the guy that couldn't get the rear wheel removed in the first place.
Thanks for all the tips!
