They are normally on a spline with an interferance fit. Big hammer with lots of brut force normally removes them matey

well fitted one of the wheels to the rear of the herald tonight whilst its in petes and it clears all of the inner arch but when the suspension drops it hits the arch as the wheels sticks out two inches from the arch. We tried to see what a mini arch would look like but I wasnt to keen on it didnt suit the car. So major arch work is required now, he's going to try and pull it out but if it doesnt work he said he will cut down the middle of the arch, pull it out and weld a v shaped plate in to the section where its be pulled apart. Hopefully doesnt cost 2 much as its costing me nearly £1500 now. Heres a pic of a herald were the arches were cut pulled and welded. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.images.cruisewirral.com/upload/002/2006/06nov/cruisewirral11006.jpg)
