I have put together a go-kart with a front end of a blaster. I had to widen the arm apart to make room for feet but turned out good. The front wheel bearings are shot though and I cant get the hubs of the spindles. As far as I know they should just come off once the spindle castle nut is removed. Never took the hubs off of any quad that I remember and would just like to make sure nothing else is there before I start beating it off. My guess would be a metal tube between bearings that is rusted on the spindle. Anybody know if it should just come off or not? Maybe pressed? Thanks

I included some pictures and a small video if anybodys curious about it.







Video wont work. Tell me how to make it work if you want to see it.
