I Use a big rubber club hammer, the ones you would use to knock a wooden stake into the ground.(from a camp shop)

 

Hit the wheel from the inside edge at 12-3-6-9 o clock and keep the wheel rotating whilst doing this.

 

once off clean both hub and wheel with a wire brush then coat in copper grease to prevent any further problems.

Good luck!

Did we get anywhere with this?

 

My advice would be to reason with the wheel, talk to it in a calm and warm voice and it should sort itself out..!!

I have found that reasoning with it will just antagonise the wheel, and it may even find its way into the house at a later date and engage in consensual intercourse in the missionary position for the sole purpose of reproduction with your beloved other half. :(
