Wheel Mod Help
 
I am planning on taking Modifiers wheels and putting them on my PRO, but I can't seem to get the pin out of the front knuckle. I've tried needle-nose pliers, and a nail and hammer, but no success. How do I get the pins out? And I can't pull the rear wheels off the axle. How do I do that?

BTW- If anyone has an extra Modifiers wheel hub (the silver thing that keeps the wheel on the chassis), could they sel/give it to me? I only have three hubs currently, and I need four for the wheel mod.l

I have been wanting to put my modifiers Black TSW 6-Spoke 17s on but i cannot remove the pin or rear wheels off axle either. Maybe i need to use more force, I might just be afraid to break something.

ARE YOU NUTS??? That would completely destroy the knuckles and/or wheels. I'm talking about taking the wheels off of the MS, not the Modifiers car.

This might work...
 
well, once I was trying a pen grip tire mod and the pen grip was too small so I stretched it and then I made a pencil mark to cut along but during my attempt to pull it off after wards the whore pin and wheel fell off the knuckle...

hope that helps

you need a flat tip tiny screw driver to pry the pin out....trust me it took over 4 hours today doing the big wheel for the fron conversion......the rears use pliers in the center of the axel and and just pull like a mofo on each side one at a time slightly twisting it..............*** i am not held responsible if anyone ruins there cars im just stateing what i did and it worked for me i am no held responsible if it ruins anything ***
