Are the studs threaded in to the hub? Maybe LH threads? Just guessing. If you submerge the hub in water so that only one or two studs are exposed you can apply heat to the stud and avoid damage to the seals and bearing. Most likely the studs have plenty of red thread locker on them.
Ok I got the oxy/acetylene out and that did the trick. The studs have an interference fit on them plus there was some kind of threadlocker on them. I also managed to save the seal and bearing! Hopefully I'll get it machined down tomorrow.
Here is where I'm at right now. I have the tank base pattern sitting on the frame. It'll probably be a while before I get much progress as it's going to take many hours to form the tank and tail.
Made a pattern tank today based on the Meadspeed T20 tank I posted earlier. Really I don't like the look at this point. For sure the tank is too tall and also it seems too wide at the front (next to the forks). I think I'll remove the bottom layer and slim the front down a little and see how it looks but I am leaning toward figuring out a different design altogether.
I think it looks good as is. The only thing is it might look a little wide on the front portion, at the bottom but thats it. In the end you have to do what looks right to you. I cant imagine anything much worse then coming out to a finished bike and thinking every time "Why did i not fix (insert dissatisfaction here)"
