I have a 36 inch walk behind. Both back tires are popped and i need to get them off to get new ones. i took the left one off with no problems.I took off all the washers and the clip that hold on the right tire but it just wont come off. Any ideas why?

I would say give it a good socking of penetrating oil. Then a 2X4 and a big hammer but be carefull you don't bend the rim. Then if that dosen't work bolt a puller to it. If worst comes to worse take a cut off wheel and slpit hub and buy a new wheel.

Ok but do you have any idea why the other side came off easy and this one won't??

If you don't have a torch - grab your wife's hair dryer and heat up the rim - wd40 wiggle and bang
