Try some Rust Buster PB penetrating catalyst on the axle.
Apply it every
day for a week and the wheel will come off easily.

Yes it can be done. I did it with a stubborn car tire when I was about
11 years old. I amazed my father and he told everyone about it. :-)
Oh, and no I didn't use ether or anything similar.

Also bicycle pumps are low volume high pressure pumps. You can pump
yourself sick and may not notice much change. Dosent help if the pump
is bad either.

How old are they? I just replaced mine this year because the side walls
were weather cracked and leaking air. I could have put a tube in but the
tires would have split in time. New ones are $17.00 each from Northern
tools. The new tires should last another 30 years.

About 5 years old, give or take a year. There are no sidewall cracks in
mine.
