momo hub question

[Hondamatic]

is their any way to get a momo hub off a car that it has already been installed on? since my motor blew in my hatch ive spent all week moving parts back over to my red coupe, and then i get to the hub...

am i retarded? wait, you guys already know the answer to that

i would ASSUME that you take off that GIGANTIC NUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HUB. but ya know... that's only assuming... cause i have one and since it's an adapter logic would dictate that it should bolt up just like the stock wheel does...

i haven't been able to get my hkb hub off either... with the bolt off... it's stuck there for some reason...i dunno, i'm glad i don't need to take it off

bolt the steering wheel back, making sure the steering rack nut is off the spline. with the wheel bolted on just wiggle the wheel and it will loosen it

[kingsol]

oh yeah, try bolting up the wheel back to the hub once you get the nut off and yank on that thing

you probaly bolted the center nut down too tight. anyway just go to pep boys and rent a wheel puller, thats what i did to get the stock wheel off. all it is is a metal bar w/ a big bolt in the center that sits on the spinlde and you just crank it down. i made my own out of a hockey stick peice and a big bolt and nut and put it under the hub where the wheel bolts on. it bent the metal but i just flipped the homemade puller after i got the hub off to bend it back

oh, haha, i kinda made fun of that guy for no reason. still, simple solution... if it doesn't come off after all nuts or bolts are gone: try harder.

i also have this experience before, ha, just try to pull it harder, i think i will goes off after a few attempt

i had the same problem w/ my AE92.. in the end. i gave up =)

[Hondamatic]

i made that hub my bitch with the steering wheel puller. it bent the hub sorta but its all good about a week or two and itll be straight



CASE CLOSED!

another method is, hit it with a hammer... directly from the top, so it seems like your hiting it back on... do the pull and wiggle and it should come off...


dont hammer too hard, or use a rubber mallet.
