You need a puller, basic automotive tool. It creates a bridge over the center shaft, then a center screw pushes the bridge away from the shaft. Good luck.

Like Jeff says, you are going to need a puller to remove the wheel. It has claws with a center punch. They work great.

Harbor freight they are about 8 to 10 bucks. The problem is the shaft in the center has teeth on it an those are at an angle so it wedges the hub on to the shaft. You can get it off with a hammer but the hub is useless an if you miss and hit the teeth then the next one won't go on right.
