It's just a friction fit, and should come off fairly easily if I tunk it with a piece of wood. With the cover off, it will be a lot easier to see what I am doing, get the old grease off the hub, avoid cut fingers, and avoid grease splats all over the wheel as we travel. If anything goes wrong with this approach, I'll post - but I think it will be a big improvement.

Thanks Bill,

Knowing whether or not if the metal hub comes off easliy would be a big help when I grease the bearings next year. Please keep us "posted".
