CC 1015 rear wheel problem
I had the same issue removing the rear rims on a 1320 to replace the dry rotted tires. The one side I was able to use a PB blaster soaking, heat, and a gear puller using the wheel weight mounting holes. The other side was so seized the other side methods did not work. I end up torching the rim off a couple inches from the axle and then used a air cutting wheel to split the the portion around the axles in three places and it still fought me the whole way but I eventually got it off and had a spare rim. If you need to torch the rim off do it in steps and have a water soaked rag around the inner portion of the axle to keep the heat from ruining your axle seal.
