Hi all - I'm just going through the exercise of removing the rubber from these wheels prior to re-rubbering for our Project Phoenix. I am experimenting with various methods, e.g. gas axe, angle grinder, wire brush etc. At this stage a combination of gas axe and grinder seems to be the go, but very time consuming and gas expensive. Any suggestions?

As an aside I have commissioned a wheel re-rubbering mold here in Adelaide with an industrial rubber company that specialises in this technique. I will own the mold and initial estimates of re-rubbering will be a tad under $200 per wheel. However, at this price, the wheel has to be completely stripped of rubber hence my initial enquiry. Once all costs and requirements have been finalised I will post them in the Parts Availability segment of this forum.
