Hi Joe,
I had this problem with my 84 Westy and solved it by just lowering the tire
pressure until I could get the Westy in the garage then I would either reinflate
the tires (I have a compressor) or just put it on axle stands. It is a pain you
know where but it does get it inside. I have since discovered a way to
disconnect my garage door and lift it up enough to get the Westy inside then
reconnect the door.
All the best and Merry Christmas.

Tom
84 1.9L Westy
