Re: wheel mag lock removal
Torching sounds very exciting, but with my luck the boat might go up in flames-can't do that, the vessel is for sale.
Lubejobs42, thank you for the offer. I may take you up on the offer- I will pm you.
Great advise I will try them all-
Thanks All

It isn't pretty, but I don't quit until they're off.
The lock is no good anyway...

air chisel. You don't have to cut / split the nut. Just cut a groove so the chisel has something to bite on and then turn the air chisel to drive the lock in the "loose" direction. 30 seconds, no purchase required.
