I need to get my rear wheels off of the Voy in order to replace a bleeder screw and bleed the brakes as a result of replacing a brake line.
Have gone as far as taking an 8lb sledge with 4" wood blocks to the sidewalls, but they still won't budge (admittedly, I can't get a ton of leverage laying under the truck from the inside, and I hurt my back a few weeks ago swinging from the outside (and I don't wish to repeat that, under any circumstances)
Any other methods for freeing them up? I've tried the jack drop; no dice there, either.
I stripped the one bleeder screw trying to loosen it up with the tire on, so I want to get the tires off before I make things worse.
If I have to, I'll take it to the tire shop (I know they must deal with this stuff all the time). But I'd also have them replace the bleeders & do the bleeding, and I can do those for the cost of my time (already have the new screws).
Ideas welcomed.
