Aluminum Hub Removal...HELP!!!

[socaltoyman]

Okay here's the deal....I just bought a Revo that came with these really wide tires on it and aluminum hub adapters. I actually like the hubs because they use a large nut to hold the rims on but the problem is because I dont have any other rims that fit this size hub I want to take them off. This is where the problem comes in, I can't for the life of me figure out how to take them off without breaking the **** knuckles, I have tried pounding out the pin but it doesnt seem to want to budge. Can someone please tell me how to take them off?

can you take a pic ..or find a link of the same ones you have? go to google and click images on the upper left and type in ??? "revo hex" ??


are they 23mm? or 17mm? stock revo are 14mm?

[navyeoseabee]

if they are

17mm- SOME are a set screw end to them ...if you are pounding at one end you may want to use a allen wrench

the proline 23mm are are a simple stock axle nut holding the blue 23mm hex in place... but if the stock pin breaks, it will lodge the hex to stick to the axle. for this is a pick they aer like 4.00 from mac guy's truck just jam it in behind the hex an work around the outer untillit is free... almost beting that the pis is broke and it is now lodged as one on the axle .

Here is a link to the ones I have on mine. I dont think there broke at least I hope not cause it's that way on all four, I used an allen wrench and tried using a hammer to beat on the pin and nothing and did that with each of the four wheels. That pin is either fused with the axle or I'm doing something wrong?:pullhair:
