Just converting the rostyle wheels over to wires on my 73 B When I ran into
some difficultys. The grease retaining cup on the wire hubs would not come
off! Anyone run into this before? Any sugestions?

Adam,
I had the same problem doing the same conversion. Try this:
Take an awl or a long, thin nail and beat it into the cup using the
cotter pin access hole in the side of the hub. Try to 'drift' the
cap up and out either by leverage or by simple contortion. Nothing
else worked for me, not even lengthened nut and bolt combinations...
Good Luck!
