I took the nut off and tried bangin on them with a hammer but it looks like they are pressed on and they didnt move at all. I didnt want to break anything so i stopped. Is there a special way or should i just hit them harder?

well did you grease her up? if not then that means your hubs are locked on and you should take them off monthy or bi monthly to grease them up to keep em one, free, and 2 keep the bearing lubed up so they dont wear harder then they should, try putting a 2x4 being it and tapping evenly around it harder it should slide off,well easy if you keep it lubed and good maintenance on it

i had the same problem. i had a impact gun around so i used it. make sure your chain is on th sprocket and its in gear and it will take it right off. dont use a wrecnch amd hammer.. that will kill the threads.

i believe he ment front hubs.try to get some penetrating oil down in there tip it on its side if you have to. let it soak through for 10 mins then hit it up again then about an hour later try to yank them off.

try spraying it with Aero Kroil. that stuff is just about the best penetrating oil i've found.
