Leave them in a sealed tub of aceton for a couple days an they slide straight off

Acetone. Sealed in a tub of it, as mentioned. You can buy the pure stuff, or the pink cheap stuff that girls use on their nails. It all evaporates, so the cheap stuff is fine.

Thanx guyz

you can boil them off but you need good gloves to hold the wheel whilst its still hot

I did read somewhere that freezing works but I've never tried it.

BTW, with the acetone, don't fill the tub, quarter of an inch in the bottom is enough. Its the vapour that does the work.
