I may just leave it and drape it over whatever im working on. But I have an idea of how i can make legs. Also pulling off stuck wheels on my mg parts car. I managaed to free one of them with this pulling method some heat and air hammering. But the other side was desperate. Even after making the hub nearly molten it wouldnt come off. It moved 1/2" and stopped. I ended up bending the hell out of it so I cut it off and had to mince the hub into 3 pieces to free it from the splines. I have a spare so I can live with that. I want to put the wires on my bugeye so i need the hubs mainly.

I think id use a sold anchor point on each side with sleeved od pipes set in cement... then build 2 telescoped leggs that can be raised or lowered to suit your needs. You'll be able to remove the legs and make sure to make caps for the holes in the ground to keep them debris free when unused.
