I've still got several units with dayton wheels (spoke hubs). First time I ever changed one, I took off all the lugnuts. Then, when prying at the tire didn't work, I got the big sledge and swung at the back of the tire. The rim clamp grazed my leg on it's way to never, never land. Never did find it. Man, can those thing fly.
I was cautioned on the ways of Cast Spoke hubs really early on, was watching a new guy, removed all the nuts, foreskin walked over and had him screw them back on a few threads, as finished he took a pound ball peen and rapped one, all six popped free, kids eyes were big as dinner plates. He had his face in the way with all the nuts off, got LUCKY.
