My TR-6 had this problem when I bought it.  Lot's of Liquid 
Wrench/CRC/Croil/Break Free and 4 tiring hours later and I had removed all 4 
wheels.  My technique was simply to pull alternatley at the top and bottom of 
the wheel, turning every so often.  It was NOT simply a matter of breaking it 
free, the rust had formed a powder which jammed things up, so the wheels fought 
coming off even after they had moved.

Patience, good music and a beer or two helps.
