Question Help with Sticking Dually Rims

Whats the trick??? My rims on my 04 Dodge Dually are a PITA to get off. I try to rotate the tires every 10k or so and can never get them off. I've tried greasing them around the hub, anti seaze around the hub and they still stick!

After hours of heating and banging I can break them loose.

What's the trick??? This is common on all steal rims and some one must have a quick trick of the day??

As always thanks for any reply's
Sean

Mine were like that too and I took emery cloth and buffed everything up and put antisieze on. Come off easy now, no heating or hammering.

On my 03 I had to use my porta power the 1st time. I just cleaned the center of the wheel with my di grinder. Then I polished up my hub with a flap wheel. Ever since no problem. I just did the same thing on my 06 I haven't had to take them back off but I think they come right off.
