Several issues ago, you carried a tech tip which detailed how to make a tool for extracting the grease hub from a wire wheel. While the method explained was alright, there is a much easier way.
Obtain a 5/16" fine thread extra long nut and bolt. Screw the nut half way onto the bolt, and screw the collar to the screw fitting on the end of the grease hub. Then use any pry method on the head of the bolt and the hub will pop out.
