Wheel correction Help

[slipstream]

I pulled a wheel off one of my cars to change the oil to hater sauce. I know I relaxed the hole, but i had to pull so hard the out side coned hub rolled inside and it was stuck on the axle (92tx) when you look down the bore you can see a plastic ridge.

any ideas on how to remove it?

All I could come up with was to put a q-tip through the other end and spin it as i pushed it through as if i was prepping the wheel bore.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Maybe the right size pin gauge pushed through there would flatten it out correctly.

I would replace the wheel.

If all your wheels are prepped the same, possibly switch it out with your lifted NDW.

Once a wheel is deformed, whether it be the hubs or bores (scratches, chips, etc.), it really can not be repaired, but it does depend on the damage. For very small nicks on the edge, I have at times been able to work it out to a point where it is no longer an issue, but it is rare. If you have a track, you can try to re-polish the bore and hub and see if you can work the defect out. Some other tests I would do:

1) Put the wheel on an axle and hold the axle vertically so the wheel rides on the hub. Make sure it makes no noise and does not wobble. Do this for both sides.

2) Install the wheel on the car. Run it down a glass covered tuning board. Listen for noise (there should not be any). Glass is very good at accentuating noise from a car.

3) Spin the wheel while on the car and put your ear close to the wheel. Tip the car in different directions. There should be no noise, wheel wobble, or vibrations.

But as EJ said, I think your best bet is replacing the wheel and using the defective wheel as the NDFW.

First cut K house grooves in the axle heads so it'll help you back out the axles while you apply very light pressure. If you need to pull hard you'll destroy the wheels. This picture shows slots I used to cut in the body to remove axles with a small screwdriver, I now relax the holes so the don't require a ton of force. Here is the pic.

Looks like you mass producing those things. Come up for air...

I had the wheel on the car before the race I showed it to joel he said trash it. It wobbled and made the car wiggle down the track. I will need to use it as a lifted wheel like you said.
