Thanks to all for the help. The air gun did not work and neither did the putty knife. I was leaving on a trip and had to solve the problem. I bought a 7/8" hole saw that just fit over the acorn nut. After cutting around the acorn nut, the tire cover was released. I could then tighten the jam nuts and remove the acorn nut. I then filled that hole with a 7/8" grommet that filled the hole I drilled. The acorn nut can now be screwed back on the post with a washer to secure it.
Thanks again,
Alan

Hi, Ray--
Glad to see another member of the cult in Missouri. ;D I'm due north of you up 65 in Chillicothe. Give a holler if you're ever coming this way. Open offer for all LDOs for boondocking at my farm south of town.

Actually that would be a great idea for us rural LD cult members. A registry of those of us that would let other cult members boondock while passing through. I'd sign up.
