wheels are off

[Kent McLean]

About a month ago I decided to put the old 16-inch wheels from my A4
on the '91 200.  The fronts went on, barely clearing the UFO rotors.
I figured I was home free.

The rear wheels... I could not remove.  They were frozen onto the
hubs. Once or twice a week for the past month I'd spray the joint
with PB Blaster.  Kick, kick, kick. Raise the rear up on the jack,
drop it on the wheel.  Today, I finally heard a bit of hollow echo
while kicking.  More PB Blaster, more kicking, up on the jack,
drop it (with no lugs), and FINALLY I got one side free.  Yes!
The other side succumbed a little easier.

"Let the tool do the work."

So my '91 200 now has A4 wheels.
