List,

I have been trying to remove the wheels from my two wheeled utility trailer.
The only one I have tried is rusted on.

It is a home made trailer which I understand was built using the front hubs 
from a '57 chevy
station wagon.  I have tried heat and WD-40 without success.  I have also 
tried moving it
a short distance with the lug nuts loose.

The only thing else I can think of is to dissemble the hub so that I can use 
a big hammer.
I was considering taking the tire off the rim, putting blocks under the rim 
and using a block
of wood to protect the center of the hub while I beat on it.

Any other ideas?
