After two days of trying to get the rear splined hubs off, I'm still not
getting anywhere. I took two old spinners and drilled and tapped the centers
with 1/2"-13 thread. I loosened the axle nut about two turns and threaded on
an all-thread rod with a welded nut into it and tighten it as tight as I could
without stripping it. I heated the hub and smacked the rod until my face turn
every shade of blue and red. Nothing! I'm ready to throw in the towel. Does
anyone have a better hub remover that I could borrow, rent, or buy. If not I
might be coming to the Dayton Invasion with Panasports on the front and wire
wheels on the back.
