I think when I am pulling my rear wheel, the part that has the driven splines separates from the rear wheel, and thus... there is no clearance for it to come out.

How do i get the hub... to go with the rear wheel?

I'm not sure I understand the question. But: When the axle comes out, the spacer on the left side drops out. This creates a space to move the wheel to the left about 3/4" and the wheel now has clearance. If the wheel and driven splines get hung up, just remove the 4 bolts that hold the drive unit to the swingarm and remove the whole unit/wheel together, and separate it on the floor.

Nevermind  got it finally!!

Sorry for the drill.

What happened was... the driven splines were separating from the wheel, NOT going to the left with the wheel.  when that happens the 5 "lug posts" don't allow the wheel to come out.

I got it, and I appreciate the quick reply.

Yea, sometimes you have to take a pry and help separate the flange from the differential assy.  Little difference in travel but a big difference when considering clearance to remove the wheel.
