i like cotm's and about the combat wheels. I just pulled five apart myself. it took about 3 hours to screw with them buggers.one way witch i don't recommend was to pull the valve stem out first to let all air out, take nuts all the way off replace valve stem and clip on a air hose stand back about 100 feet under a building or lay under a car or atleast have a chain drive billfold and a quick draw cigarette lighter and buckle bottom boots on with your jeans tucked inside of them and holding a pair of jumper cables standing in a pool of gas during a lightning storm and let her fill up. surprising enough it didn't blow the ring all the way off the tire but it does come loose,saves beating the heck out of them with a hammer.one of them i backed the nuts about 1/2 off the stud then aired her up a quick pop and she was off. i found it could be way more dangerous doing it this way as them nuts could give out and become bullets. to say the least i was carefull and no-one was around and it was quite fun.i'll be done after doing about 25 more, what a job, cotm is shaking his head right now, the only other way is to do the sawzaw thing like the pwa article has in this months write up. I don't have the time for that and like a little excitement going on out back.
