Trying to remove rear wheel for tyre change. Have followed all steps in haynes, wheel still will not move . It looks like axle washer at brake drum side is seized to frame. Any ideas anyone?

The Dragstar is shaft drive, yes.? You might have to lever it a little away from the drive side to allow the gears out of mesh.Watch for any spacer washers/sleeves dropping out

there are a few vids of this on you tube, worth checking out as one of them might help

Jack the rear end up,

un do the two blots on the spindle, (but don't take the bolts off)

Pull rear wheel off,

It might need a bit of a wiggle to ease the splines out of the prop shaft coupling but it is really that easy.

as noise says

but dont pull to hard like me and end up on your ass with a tyre in your face haha

So im not the only one thats done the same as you Giz!?

Finally im not alone Haha.

problem solved, just needed brute force and ignorance. and I got big bag of that

7 months for a tyre change? Thats gotta be a record
