    Our 5710 gangs came apart easily, have heard Flexicoil 5000 is the worst nightmare of all. Put the whole gang in water over nite and rust softens is one idea. BG at a clinic years ago said DO NOT over grease, just 2 shots a year. Seals could be ruined.

        WHAT? Flexicoil 5000, well hammers, hydraulic presses etc only solution is to have spare wheels and torch them. Some in the area even had whole spare gang assemblies. If time permitted tying a rope on to the gang and rolling it into a dugout would loosen the rust in a few days, then disassembled much easier..

        Farma maybe you have our old one😀. Never seize everything that’s ever come apart on our farm. We did all bearings on our packers one fall, holly...

            The Deere packers are no better. Service guy at the local dealership put it best; “you have to get medieval”. Often considered buying a donor for the packers. $300 per wheel and guaranteed you wreck one getting it apart if you’re hasty.
