Greetings and happy holidays!
I'm about to increase the spread on the rear tires of my 4120 (adding chains). I'm pretty clear on most of the process to jack, block, stabilize the tractor prior to removing the wheels. But here's my dumb question: What's the best method for getting the wheel off of the lugs? and; once the two tires have been switched to the opposite sides: what's the best method for getting the wheels up on the lugs again?
I'm thinking about trying to use a long pry bar under the tire to both lift it off the lugs and then put it back on. What are the chances that will work? I will have someone with me to help stabilize the tires. They're R4s, loaded and pretty heavy.
Any thoughts on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Tim
