my bootle caps are stuck to the rear hub

[Charlie]

i got it off finally last night and was able to put my rear rims on.

it wasnt stuck due to rust, b/c it easily seperated off the hub and spun freely. the part of the hub the sticks out (i have rear drums) was not perfectly round. i think when i had that side rear wheel bearing they must have warped it somehow.

But anyways i had to take my dremel out with a metal file bit and grind inside the bottle cap and just continued to yank on it and that resulted in me smaking myself in the face with my hand and a bottle cap rim :oops:

im guessing i can replace that cover on the drums and have a good round hub?

:shock:

Wow. You used a dremel to grind away the contact point on a hubcentric wheel.

Again, wow.

Take pictures of this, and um, don't drive next to me.

it wasnt too much material i had to grind off, just like a millimter or 2 and i threw that rim in the trash (i have a new set of rims) and keeping the rest of the 3 bottlecaps as spares
