To remove the wheel I insert a snug fitting solid steel bar into the open end
of the axle and jack on that. If you put the jack far enough along the bar away
from the wheel, once you’ve got the wheel loose you can then slide the wheel
onto the steel bar. You can then support the steel bar or axle stub from the
‘inside’ side of the wheel and hence slide the wheel right off. You do need to
be a bit careful not to distort the axle tube, but if the bar fits snugly
enough then I’ve not had a problem with this.
I don’t usually carry the bar with me on trips as it’s quite heavy. Would have
to look for something similar locally if I had a wheel issue away from base!
Maybe a shorter version of the bar might work but you’d then have to rely on
temporarily making a support on the bottom end of the leg to get the wheel off.
You can in theory also jack on this end of the gear leg (ie on the inside of
the wheel) but it’s an awkward shape too fit a jack to and I feel that jacking
there is not very stable.
Hope that helps. Feel free to give me a call if you want more explanation!
Message me directly and I’ll send you a number.
Best regards
David
