Thanks MJ.

I initially used an exhaust clamp 50mm IIRC and lever with a pry bar. When this kept pulling off on a stubborn hub cap I then improved by buying another exhaust clamp, discarded the U Bolts from both, then used both of the C shaped pieces clamped together with two long bolts.

Two exhaust clamps - great minds think alike.
I like the idea of the long bolts and the two clamps together.

Persistence and more than gentle tapping. Work around the cap by turning the rotor. The piece of scrap oak flooring I use is tough enough to handle the job pretty easily. I just don't like leaving character marks on the parts, and the exhaust clamps will do that for you.

Hmmm...

rest assured that NOTHING you will do levering on it is anything close to the forces encountered on a high g corner......I just tap lightly with a hammer and walk it out but I do leave marks It really wants to come out ! Also worth mentioning that if the bearings need to be tightened they probably need to be changed and inspect the alloy hub as well as I have pushed the bearing race into the race with all my track time.....so serious loads involved.

Thanks Jim.
Now is just a quick inspection. I'm not having a known issue with them. I plan on new rotors soon, and when I do this I plan on doing the whole refurbish of the wheels.

I just did it with a 2" exhaust clamp ($2) and a crow bar. With a hammer I could not get enough leverage. And take off the rotor first to get a better angle, put the butt of the crow bar on the hub between the studs.

Thanks granprix.
I followed your job - looks great - nice work.

Works just fine. Small taps, patience.

I get a screwdriver about 5/16" dia shaft , place it in the groove between the hub and the cap, tap the side of the shaft, round and round, and it eases out with little effort...

Really.
I wouldn't have thought it, but I will try it.
Thanks.

I have had good success using a ball joint pickle fork and a hammer. The fork has a slight angle that gives you a better approach angle. Using the fork allows you to tap the cover on two points at a time that seems to help.

I use a 9165 and a Harbor Freight slide hammer, works in about 5 seconds.

I'm headed to the post office tomorrow with some other 928 parts, I could toss it in the mail to you if you like.

I like the sound of the round screwdriver shaft in the groove, that's crafty.

at first ole Bob wondered what hub yer talkin' about... oooohkay, that one. I'm a stickler for greasing bearings and went there when I first bought mine. PO had done a crappy job of setting the clearance too. I have new bearings in a box that I really should install. I welded an attachment on a muffler clamp that works well with a small slide hammer.
