    Re: Moving my project

    Here's a different approach to this:

    Make a "cheater bar" out of maybe an 8ft long 2 x 6 or 2 x 8 wood board.

    Near one end, drill two holes thru the board-say 2-2-1/2" in diameter. Space the holes about 10" apart.

    Lay the board on top of the stuck tire/wheel so that you can feed a come-a-long cable thru the holes and around the wheel. (leave the tire flat). Tighten up the winch to firmly attach the board to the wheel-creating a sort of lever/wrench.

    Raise the axle off the floor and work the board slowly in both directions until it gives in.

      Just be GENTLE! That's a LOT of leverage and you could damage the gear attachment. Remember that a small force applied a lot of times is better than a big force applied a few. An 8' 2x6 can do a lot of damage without knowing it.

        Isn't that the principle behind waterboarding?
