Hi,
If the 2 sets screws have been locktite in, then its possible that its got to the shaft and then this can be a pig to get off. The best thing I use is a soldering iron (40watt ish) and put this on the block for a while, then twist and pull. You can use a small blow touch but if you have to much plastic around, TAKE CARE!!...lol

big torch.. when it's all red then you are go go go and that is go go go straight to the store and buy alot of new stuff

i would probebly go with the soldering iron.. if you melt the plastic you have to buy new
and this is just my thought.. when the plastic is hot.. be careful not bending it (all of this you probebly know already)

if its the bearings in the front hubs you want to oil take off the c clip off from the back of the axle shaft then you can pop the bearings out with out the hassle of trying to remove the grub screws

LMAO !

I can't keep um on and this joker wants to know how to take um off !

Use a soldering gun on the setscrew nut. Heat it up and the loctite will loosen.
