Ahh, those rear retainers, mine didn't want to budge after an attack off a 180 amp mma welder to stick a steel bar on and then wd40 plus a cracking good bash off a club hammer. I think if it has to come off then mike might be right, slit it with a dremel. It might even be possible to re weld once removed if carefull and lucky.

Brute force does not work on these retainers guys, you will just destroy the hub.
This is probably the only application that WD40 isn't good for. You need genuine PlusGas Easing Fluid along with heat and a huge pile of patience.
PlusGas is like a magic bullet to stuck mechanicals. Been using it for years, and its the best out there.
No I'm not selling it before anyone asks. ;D
JamesH:
Good value too....

Wow. I haven't seen it that cheap in years £3.18p each if you buy 12. Good find James. This is the stuff to use guys, and don't forget the cart load of patience.

Yes I got that for releasing a pivot tube on my 750K0 centre stand ... ended up drilling it out what a b*st*rd of a job that was ... but not as bad as that retainer. Always did reckon plus gas was the best though .. my greeb mates at school (Royal Oilfied Crusader sports / 3TA etc).
Did the welding damage the alloy at all Matt?
