Tom, careful here.  Try WD40 with the little plastic extender or Nutbuster.
Spray it on and WAIT.  Maybe a day or so.  Do not use a sledge - it will ruin
the "knockoff" and maybe the splines on the hub adapter.  Go to the VTR web-
site and see my 2 articles on wire wheels for more info.  Any other questions
- pls. come back to me. Cheers.
