I have used this method for years. A 2x2x18" long piece of very tightly grained hardwood works very well. I combine it with a 3lb short handle sledge (BFH). It gets the hammer away from the wheel and you are actually able to focus the impact more accurately without the fear of hitting the fender (yikes) or the edge of the wheel. And realistically.....how often do you remove your wheels?
