#24427, "Is there any special... "technique" to removing and installing wheel lugs?"

Well, apparently my lugs actually taper, that is, they get larger right near the hub...this has made it impossible to install this GSX brake kit i got from Spooledupracing. I tried myself, and WheelWorks had a crack at it, same conclusion.

I called up satan to confirm, they also believe that my lugs should NOT taper in this manner. From what I've read, I just need a large hammer to both remove and install these lugs. Does anyone have any personal experience with this?

I'm also a little concerned that switching to straight lugs that dont taper could... somehow make my hub obsolete. i.e... maybe the hub NEEDS the lugs to be a larger diameter.... Plus... I'm not sure I'm entirely comfortable working with large blunt imprecise tools when dealing in such a critical area!
