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 !

hahahaha.

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