I need to change my rear bearings and can't get the disc hub off. I've tried heat, oil, wedging chisels between the arm and it's still winning. I'm going to try heat and a air chisel next.
Any other ways that have worked for you guys?
the disc hub wont come off? lay the trike on its side with the disck hub side up and spray generous amounts of PB blaster or some sort of penetrating oil in it, let sit for a few hours and spray some more. Keep doing that for a day the next day it should be able to free itself.
Or if you got a torch, get it near red hot and then let it cool back all the way down, it will most likely unfreez itself then.

I'm going to get me a can of this mysterious pb blaster, this should be a good test for it. Hopefully it works.

Instead of prying on it, pound the axle out through it. Just protect the end of the axle with a 2X4 so it isn't damaged.

thats right but the wood will split.....find a pipe that just slids over your splines and pound away.
