Stuck wheels

[rbbennett]

HELP. Just got a large offset smoker given to me. Problem is we loaded with front end loader onto trailer. Got it home and it won’t roll off trailer or at all. One wheel will turn maybe 1/2” other os seized completely. It is 10” pipe about 3” across with 1/2 rod spikes and a 2” pipe hub on 1 1/2 pipe. Sprayed with PB Blaster as best I could. Put a little heat on it with propane torch. Only about 5 mins. Will tackle in the morning but looking for wise tips. It’s been sitting for a long time not used behind the barn. CC door is seized shut also but can easily cut hinges and replace. But need off trailer tomorrow and only way off is rolling.

Spokes not spikes

I have one free but the other is still not budging. will try heat, but any suggestions before I work on it would be appreciated.

I can't think of anything better than PB blaster if it's just rust. That or get a bigger hammer

I've had quite good luck with a 50/50 mix of acetone and the cheapest ATF I can find (seems to be Ford branded..... go figure. .) PB Blaster is pretty good. There's also Aerokroil, but that can be hard to come by.

Wd40 makes a pretty good penetrating/rust oil that I have used with success. The biggest problem is getting (any type of) oil into the hub in the first place. You might be able to drill a hole in the wheel hub--just thru the hub, not the axle--- and work some oil into the center section between the hub and axle. May need to drill a few holes depending on the rust buildup.
