Depending on hyow long they have been on the hub and how much salt they have seen, it can be a pita to get them off the hub. I had to press mine off with 1500 lbs pressure, some light taping and a lot of WD40. Before putting new ones on the hub, clean off all the scale. I also paint my hub with antisieze compound - for the next time. Here in Canada, salt is unavoidable in the winter where i live.
