Hey Going to get the wheels powder coated so all the "bits" need coming out. Swapped the rear sprocket today and spotted the cush drive rubbers, how the hell do they come out??? CR
Don't try and drift them out from the back as they sit on a lip. You will think you are on the back of them but you are actually on the wheel. This tool does the job
Rather than trying to get a nut on the back you can use a suitably sized expanding wall anchor into the hole of the Cush.
I did mine recently. I used a hole saw to cut just inside the outer sleeve to remove the centre. Then got a blind bearing puller behind the sleeve and jacked it out. But they were bloody tight. And took a while as had to do two sets of wheels to do. I had watched to vid on YouTube but didn't fancy annealing the wheels.
I'm a cheap skate and found a manufacturer of metalastic bushes and told them we needed some samples for a work project = free! I just needed to machine them to size.
