I have a 69 e-type. None of the wheels have been off for probably 20 years and I need new tires. I managed to get the fronts off but can't budge the rears. I soaked them in that blaster stuff for two weeks, emptying the can. Then I loosened up the knock offs and did some figure eights forward and backward, laid rubber forward and backward and locked up the brakes forward and backward. Then I used a homemade wheel puller. Nothing but a broken wheel puller. Can anyone help? I understand there is someplace to rent old Jag tools but you have to be a member of the National club which I used to be. I'm more than willing to again join regardless but don't know if such a tool exists. HELP!!

 

Try applying some heat. I would not recommend using an open flame, rather I suggest you use an inductor heater. They work on 110V and can generate a lot of localize heat. If you can't find one to borrow you may be able to buy one. There is a company "Induction Innovations" (I have no affiliation) that sells a mini inductor that I think costs a couple hundred dollars, and I am sure that there are several Chinese made on amazon. Just be careful; don't wear any rings or any metal of any kind. Inductors will not burn your skin, but it will heat up rings and other metals you might be wearing.
Good luck.
Bill.

 

Thanks Bill. Just dropped it off at a shop that also has some ideas. I'll pass on this one as well. Many thanks and I'll let you know what happens! (I wish someone from the Jag club would just let me know if such a tool exists)
