[Got the Bug]

Sandy,

How long had the wheels been on the car before you removed them? From what I recall reading from another thread, the recommendation was to remove the wheels every year. I think I waited about 18 months, but luckily I didn't run into any problems.

I bought one of the tools that Tony mentioned. It works well, but does start to leave some marks on the knock off. No biggie...have you ever looked at the knock-offs on a vintage Cobra?

I stopped using the tool. I found that it seems easier to use the lead hammer alone.
