while trying to swap my te-37's for my stock rollers, for the life of me i could not remove the hubcentric rings on the rear wheels. i used wd-40, a heatgun, screwdriver & hammer, i tried wrenching the thing off, i even cursed it to hell and back, and nothing.

is there a trick to removing these damn things???

 

I had the same problem, and between the mattet and a large screwdriver I was able to get out some agression. It took some heavy duty blows to pry them off, working around the spacer in a circular motion. They slowly came off.

 

mallett and screwdriver. next time put some antisieze between the contact surfaces or spray dry lube (graphite) and you will be fine. aluminum oxide has extremely strong bonds compared to regular iron rust, so that makes it that much harder to remove. when its in contact with the steel hub/brke disc, aluminum naturally has a tendency to oxidze very readily, and that's why putting the anti sieze on helps.
