If you're swapping axles, leave the rims on. Makes it easier to roll out.

My preferred method also, I like to loose roll also but do not like burring up the threads because I then have a tendency to drive off a little peeved.
Tip for the day, Do not look directly into the Sun.....

Yes I agree. How I got rear and front axle off ton frame. Decided to cut Ubolts and just roll it out!

Finally broke them free! I sprayed liquid wrench penetrating fluid through lug holes each one several times, then got under T3 and sprayed the wheel between brake drum and wheel literally soaked each. After waiting couple hours used hand propane torch to heat wheel at lug area while turning wheel slowly. Then a few minutes later got my 42” Lowes crowbar placed end between drum and wheel and pulled like ****. It worked the wheels both popped off. I’ve never seen wheels that where rust welded to a drum like these were !

4 ton bottle jack
Tried that but frame was to far off alignment to wheels. Had two 2x4’s taped together the placed 4 Ton bottle jack with a piece of angle iron towards wheel, but angle was all wrong !

I have no idea. Electronically challenged at times. Hope it is ok. If not I will delete it.

Tires and wheels sold
After struggling with their removal I was able to remove both rear wheels. Soaked them in Liquid Wrench penetrator, waited till next day then used large pry bar to break them loose. Worked out well sold tires and wheels after a cleanup, paint they were fine.
