Its OK as long as Pops is being abused, besides, there is a big pile of tinnies under the Surf from putting it back together, then I've been down the pub all evening, stuffed on Sunday roast dinner (which I helped to make! ), just got outta hot bath so its getting hard to remember rules and things ATM.
In fact, its getting hard to focus on the screen, so I'm off to find the bedroom.......................

I had the same problem when I bought mine a few weeks ago. What I did was to spray WD40 in and around the wheels studs and hub and let that seep in for a few mins then I got a very large rubber mallet and hit the inner part of the tyre, rotating it every few knocks, it did take a little while but they did move, you could use an iron bar but for god sake only hit the tyre not the wheel.
When I put them back on a covered the hub and studs in a light grease, I would not use copper grease as this could react with the alloy wheels.
Hope this is of some help

thanks phil,
going to get my boy over again and have another go
will post the results.
I didn't know till I got there but I visited my local tyre bandit and my wheels were stuck, front only, and I was entertained for a good 15 mins while 2 chaps beat my wheels off with rubber mallets and then size 10 boots, very sweaty work that, cost a tidy £9 for the entertainment too. cheers jeffers
