Default Frozen rear wheels

I'm trying to put new tires on my 69 e-type. They haven't been off in probably 20 years. I got the fronts off but not the rears. I sprayed them with a full can of blaster over a one week period, loosened up the centers and drove it in figure eights forward and back, laid rubber forward and back, locked up the brakes forward and back and tried using a home made wheel puller and nothing. I heard that there is a place that rents out old Jag tools, hoping they have some sort of puller but can't find any info. Your help PLEASE!

Do you have the knock offs or not? Jaguar Club of North America has tools to loan but I think you have to be a member. Have you tried heat on the wheel hub combined with the puller? This is a very annoying problem- I have dealt with it too. Try posting in the E-Type section, you may get better response. Good Luck.

Hello Jerry, I do have knock offs and have tried some heat. I did take your advice and posted this on the e-type forum. Many thanks!
