After applying lots of gentle torque and soaking in oil and trying other
unsuccessful methods, a pal of mine tried tapping the ring from behind with a
wooden drift. We tapped only where there was a rivet and in the direction of
the bayonet slot. After weeks of spinning my wheels, a few seconds of light
tapping winkeled it off. A little deburring with a file on the can made the
rim fit as snuggly as it should, but still come off easily. Thanks for making
it possible.
