Pickle fork. Hit THAT with a hammer...

dont hit the threaded shaft, hit the spindle where it's going into. 2 or 3 good whacks itll pop right out.

i did that and it didnt come out.... and the pickle fork thing my rim is stuck on so when i put it on i have to go in at an angle and it just hits the backing plate, i think ive tried everything

hammers fix everything!!!

I usually smack the knuckle where the tie rod goes into the spindle even on a E-450 they pop right out
I suggest get a bigger hammer

exactly thats the only way i do it if you hit it from the bottom on the threaded shaft you will compress the threads and it will be no good unless your replacing them its ok get something like a 5 pound mini sledge

take the wheel off first duh thats your problem right there theres not enough room for you to get a good swing at it
