- Well, look here, Paul, the only maintenance one can pull on the splines is to lubricate and inspect them them at regular intervals. Obviously, the wheel rotates on the hub a fraction of an inch each

- The standard "trick" is to loosen the knock offs a turn and drive the car in tight circle a few times in both directions. This is supposed to apply enough lateral force to break them loose. I've neve

- A figure I noted down some time ago was 2.440" for a good spline - close enough to 2.45" I guess. IMHO if there were no play between hub and wheel with the knock-off removed you wouldn't be able to g
