Need hub screw key to remove rear wheels. If you have one, can you snap a photo for me please. My trike did not come with one. Requires six point hex keys with a recessed needle receptacle in the center.

I believe your wrong those small torque screws are decoration the whole center cap pops off, get a small pick or screwdriver behind the cover and it pops off ?

If those screws need removing ( I agree with Road Dog I think the caps pop off)

If not you need tamper proof torx bits

You are correct. I had no idea how these wheels worked. Any idea where I can learn how to remove these wheels? NO videos to be found on YouTube. Here is what the hub under the center cap looks like:



I never saw such a thing. Appreciate any suggestions where I could learn how to remove them, or get them removed for new tires? Guess I’ll start with the only GW bike shop within 50 miles, and go from there.

Need a bigger picture, there has to be regular lug nuts, those are American Racing Wheels ? You still dont have the complete center cap cover off, you can see the lug nuts under the cover, get a screw driver under the edge of that tin cover it will come off.

This is why you gotta love Trike-Talk..… The combined knowledge of its members is astronomical.. And also the willingness of its members to help other members is Second to none ..

You are correct. There is a small cut out on the inner ring with the American Racing logo in the middle; pop that ring out and the outer ring will come out as it is retained by the inner ring. Lug nuts under.

American Racing was famous for these kinds of wheels and center caps
I wish I had a dollar for every center cap our guys ruined taking those wheels off
