Had a 25 ton load of scrap billlets offloaded at Scunthorpe steelworks today and while heading back to the weighbridge was flagged down by a shunter- "There's something sticking out of your front wheel, looks like a piece of metal?"
Which turned out to be the 9" diameter outer shell of a scrap bearing that had jammed tight on the rim and the tyre .
Stood well back and gave it a mighty cosh with a 4lb lump hammer:
