I'm in the middle of a tire rotation and can't get the dualls seperated. Any ideas?

torch and a huge deadblow sledge hammer will usually work, if they are availible.

Hi, I use a 2 X 4 about 3 feet long between the duals first on the front side then on the back. Had to do this a couple times then they came loose. Once I got them off I took a rotary file in a drill and took a little out of the center of the aluminum wheels. I didn't have any problem getting the steel wheels off.

Waste of time and money IMO. Swap the front side to side and your done.

Does seem like a waste too. Those trucks seem to eat tires pretty good no matter what you do to help. Fronts especially get worn. I guess its the weight up front with diesel and such that makes wear faster.??

You might try posting this in the SuperDuty section for more replies.

Find yourself the biggest sledge hammer you can, remove any under aged people within hearing distance, a good pair of gloves, gogles, and have the EMS on standby.

The objective is to use the blunt force of a sledge hammer on the back side of the wheel.
