[C320-list] Can't get Wheel Off

Jim,  Did you mean "apply heat to the wheel hub" so it would expand away from the shaft OD?

I'd try a little heat on the shaft (hair dryer or heat gun on low). I have a 
couple of old cars with splined hubs and when it's cold the grease hardens 
making it hard to get the wheels off. I know the wheel has grease on the shaft 
since I've spread it all over after removing the wheel. I also have to rock mine 
a little before it slides off. Just a thought.

I have to wiggle mine around quite a bit while pulling aft but it does come
off.  The rudder should be amidships so that the key does not fall out when
the wheel comes off.

I can't get the wheel off.   The nut came off with no issue.
