Hub removal

[hdroyer]

I removed the rear wheel and put grease on the drive shaft and wheel splines. I could not get the hub off I removed the retaining clip but still could not get it to come off, I did not want to pry on it for fear of damaging the hub or the rubber seal. Any ideas?

The hub has 6 "pins" that fit into the rubber snubbers built into the wheel. Each rubber snubber has a steel tube center, that the pins fit into. It can be difficult to get the pins out of the snubber tubes, there will be some corrosion. Try some penetrating oil, let it sit for a while, then gently pry a little at each pin. This link is from the 2nd gen tech library, but the 1st gen rear wheel is exactly the same.
