Cole, on the 15 inch wire wheel, heating the center of
the wheel itself with a torch will expand the splined wheel center but not
the hub, which should simplify removal.

Getting the hubs off requires a specialized pulling
tool, which you can make with one left and one right
knock off.

The tool uses a threaded rod and nut to pull the
hub off the shaft like a normal hub.

There is a writeup on it in the archives, but i couldnt
find it.

Can anyone help?
