Beerpig, I hope you have been keeping the hub-to-axle joint wet with penetrating oil. aldot, I don't think key movement is all that likely when the hub is frozen onto a taper by corrosion, and won't move.

Grumpy
Don't worry I used about a can of inox on it....
Made up a plate of some 1/2" Aluminium plate(all i had)the length of the plate was only 140mm and holes at 70mm centres, so Aluminium worked well. drilled 2 matching holes , 2 long threaded bolts and hey presto the wheel pulled straight off...well not straight off...Magic.....Those sneaky Greenfield guys would have 1 made up in the back of the shed hidden from backyard warriors like myself..ha.ha.
All is well, thanks for the help.
Just need to retension my drive chain fix the blade rotor and get back into it....Oh and maybe a paint job.
Cheers.

Thanks for reporting the outcome, Beerpig. I'd have preferred a mild steel plate to an aluminium one, but I can't quarrel with success. Seems like you might keep it handy for next time.

I'll close this thread.
