I have come to find the easiest way to remove hubs from skyway mags...

sledgehammer works wonderfully, but remember to wear goggles kids!

Your pics didnt turn out!! At least not on my computer.

I had to use IE instead of FireFox. Interesting way of removing the alloy hubs. I would of used a blow torch and melted the plastic away.

That's a good idea!

I would dip it in an acid bath to dissolve the plastic.

I'm no acid expert, but wouldn't the metal dissolve, and the plastic remain intact?

I am an acid expert and I say the plastic would dissolve.


I hope you realize that I was joking.

Now thats funny!

As was I Strike, ergo the silly smiley!


BTW, acid is something that should never be joked about! You see, when you joke about something, anything, you become more comfortable, more at ease with it. As soon as you become complacent around acid, somebody's going home with burned corneas, or half-dissolved fingers. I've seen it happen. Be warned.

All it takes for the riveted metal flange one's is a thin sharp chisel and a hammer is all.

They were cracked beyond repair. The hubs were the only thing worth saving. Sorry Jon

Still no pix for me...

That's odd J. I don't know what the problem is???

Now they're there. Funny shiznit for sure.

LMAO. I just wanted the hub. lol. I told him to cut it at the spoke. I`d rather take the hub out myself just incase of damaging it I can blame myself.

That's funny right there.

I'm pretty sure that's how they say to do it in the manual that used to come with the wheels. I'll have to dig that out... I saw Vander do the same thing one Sunday in the park with a series of bar endos.
