why both sides each way? - i know there is nothing really keeping them in,(except possibly the glue), but dubious of just whacking them until something gives

no............not both sides.u have to knock them from the inside of the wheel towards the outside..so u have to go through one to get to the inner side of the other one.but u need to hit it at opposites.......if ya get wot i mean or it wont come out square |

Yep....heating is the way to go mate Knock em' out with a piece of thick dowel rather than using a chisel or something metal. Good luck |
