Hey Everyone!!
As titled really, i won an auction on ebay which consisted of a rear wheel and swing arm but the main problem i found once getting it home was that the wheel was oxidised/fused to the hub! My main question is if any of you have had this problem and how did you separate it?
many thanks for any advise

Re: stuck rear wheel
hammer and a piece of wood usually does the trick,try a squirt of wd40 or similar for a day or two then go for it,or some heat if you have anything capable of putting enough heat into it.
