bansheeguy_81 Posted May 19, 2014 Report Posted May 19, 2014 Ok so i was taking my rear wheels off the strip thw paint off that the guy before me painted and for some reason i cant get the hub to slid off the splines of the axle. Looks like all the splines line up and it hasnt twisted but i cant seem to get the damn thing to come off. Anyone have any ideas?? Was thinking about maybe heating up the axle and splines?

hoppedupandcutdown Posted May 19, 2014 Report Posted May 19, 2014 I had one with lock-tite on the splines, a little heat from a propane torch on the hub worked fine. Would work for paint or rust too. Quote
BUILDER Posted May 19, 2014 Report Posted May 19, 2014 Put a little heat on the hub and it should come right off. They tend to get stuck over time Quote
bansheeguy_81 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Posted May 20, 2014 Ok imma try that. Never had this peoblem before but thought heat might work. Thanks guys. Proly do that first thing tomorrow. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk Quote
trickedcarbine Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 Don't heat the axle splines. That just swells the axle making it tighter in the hub. Heat the hub and TAP it top to bottom, side to side. Odds are the hub splines are rolled over inside. Quote
sheerider11 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Posted May 20, 2014 PB blaster and a little heat has worked wonders for me Quote
