In the write up on how to remove the front wheel bearings and such, it tells you to use a brass bar to hit against the studs that hold the hub on, to break the pyramid washers loose. This is not needed at all. Simply take a rubber mallet and light tap on the silver hub assembly in a circular fashion. It works great, nothing has the chance of being stripped, and its a lot safer!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
