Here is where the K5 stands today:
Front brakes are done with some new outer bearings, calipers and lug studs/nuts. I'm eventually going to run these wagon wheels that I blasted and painted white. One had a nice surprise on the inside rim edge. Me and my poor welding skills patched that and ground it down mostly ok looking. It will at least hold air. No pictures of the repair, just what the sand blasting revealed.

What I'm fighting now is these rear wheels. They are stuuuuck like you wouldn't believe. Finally got the passenger rear off after a ton of work, heat, and PB Blaster. Here is what finally gave me the leverage:
That is a 12 foot 4x4 and it barely took it off. I broke one strap doing this. The driver side appears to be even worse. I'm at a loss. I don't know what I can do to get more leverage to get this off. Any ideas?
