STUCK! cant remove hub from rim???

[cfanger]

I am new at this, but I've taken apart hubs from rims to sand and repaint. I've got 2 nice tires for the rear of our Kart.13x6x5
I've got hubs on the kart axle already, so I just need to remove the ones on my wheels so I can put them on the Kart. We got the 4 nuts off, put the screws refuse to come out.. Are theses sometimes welded in? Are my efforts just wasted time???
please help!

why do u need to take the screws out.
do u mean the studs (the 3 or 4 bolts that stick out of the hub)

 

[cfanger]

yes, I want only the tire attached to the rim, with the 4 holes empty

depends, sometimes there studs, very hard to remove since there classed as a permanent joint, if there just stuck bolts wd40 and a wooden mallet, or piece of timber and hammer will do the trick. Really need a pic for better help

I took 2 photos, but to insert image in here it asks for url:format, my photos are just jpgs, so I've created yet another problem it seems. I don't see an option for just adding an attached file on here?

prop up the wheel on something flip it over so the 4 bolts face up, grab maybe a piece of 1 or 2x6 and put that on top of all 4 bolts then give it a few taps with a hammer or preferable a rubber mallet, and maybe throw in some lube

WD-40 on the bolts, a plank of wood covering all bolts, and a mallet to knock it loose.

thought i just said that, lol what ever.

I shortened it. We all have a "ya what he said" moment here and there.

Liquid Wrench guys... wd40 is not the best thing ever.

It's just more common. And a great rubber fishing lure bait. It really works to attract fish. Just a random bit of info.

they are sort of pressed in there. They have a splined shaft and stay in there real good. One hard hit with a hammer and they will be out. The ends will burr so grind them back nice.

I am going to give it a try, so stay tuned..and thank you for the advice!

Seems everyone gave the same answer, where's the originality here?

Put the rim on a cinder block with the hub resting over one of the holes. Place it under the highest tree in your yard. Next, ... climb the tree with a bowling ball, ... well you can guess the rest!

Are you serious? The last time I lubed up my reel I got a little messy with it, and went insane trying to clean it all up figuring the fish would avoid it like the plague!

Cfanger- Glad you got it sorted. Cheers!
