im puttin 400ex hubs on my 450, how do i do this, i took off the tire and the big nut in the middle, but the brake router is in the way... do i take that off and exchange that too.. if so how? or do i unbolt it from the hub with an allen wrench?

Remove wheel

Loosen brake caliper and swing upward to allow brake rotor to clear

Loosen spindle nut

Slide Hub assembly off spindle

Remove 3 allen head rotor retaining bolts

Hub is now in hand to do what you would like with.

Reassembly is opposite of disassembly

There are 2 bolts holding the caliper to its mount. remove the rear bolt and loosen the front

ok, all that is done but the hub wont slide off, i tried tapping with a hammer and that did not work either. You are talking about wheel hubs right?

Get a flat screwdriver or pry bar and pry the hub away from the spindle as much as possible then you may have to get a piece of wood and a hammer and tap it off. Don't pry too much on the dust seal on your bearings or you will shred them
