These come on for $50 + shipping all the time.

Any 'gotchas' to look out for?

Look out for somebody sellin' a wheel w/out a disc (maybe w/2 stripped out bolts) Grin

It's rare to wear out the bearings, as long as it's got all the spokes and a disc, good chance it's ok.

Would an electric impact wrench have prevented these from breaking?

Found some used front wheels on ebay for about $100. That seems like the most reasonable solution.

Usually with loctite fastened bolts applying heat helps. That stuff breaks down when heated. We used to work with that stuff and heat seemed to help. Impact wrench might work, but also shocks the bolt material and could have the effect of ripping it off right away.

When I changed one of the rotor bolts out for a magnetic headed bolt for my vapor speedo, I found that working the bolt in and out like you would a tap helped out greatly. Sure it took awhile to do it that way, but if you don't have heat available at the time it works. If I hadn't have loaned out my oxy/act outfit to a friend I would have used some heat, but it worked out well that way without the heat.
