How to remove Baja 5B front wheels

[Newman]

Hi Guys, new to this forum. Got into some serious problem with the front wheels of my Rovan Baja 36cc. The front wheels seems to be stuck with not the slightest movement between the hex and the wheel. Unlike the rear wheels which came off easily. Should I use a hammer to knock on the hex or wheel? Rovan says both rear and front wheel are not secured by any E-clips. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You took the nuts off, right? They could have tightened somewhat. Try setting hub in a deep socket and tap with the handle of your hammer on the threaded end.
Pics would help.

Place a nut on the threads so it’s sticking above them and hit with hammer… not too hard, while pulling on wheel

no. just take the wheel nut off and smack the hex hub right in the center with a hammer . don't go ape poop but give it a firm few smacks and it come off. my baja does this literally all the time

Don’t be afraid to pull and shake vigorously
And put the nut b4 hammer so no distorting the threads

Like the young guns said "Just whack it.".

just slacken the nut on the outside mate, then thumbs on the nut and fingers on outside of the wheel and it should come loose ,
might need a wiggle but should come off fairly easy,

Tough job but finally get it done. The weight of this car is not making the job anything easier

Heck that's a light weight wait till you decide to get something 4x4.
