This is a 74 cb550 my dad converted to a 3 wheeler back in the day. In the process of restoring it.

I've been tackling the rear end and its been fighting me every inch of the way. Anyone have any Idea what these hubs came off of, or better yet how to get them off? Any suggestions I'm all ears.

 Are there any set screws on the back side of the hubs? Looks like they are keyed. Maybe they just press on and off. I would think there would be some kind sets screws though. I've got a '79 Cb750K that somebody put a rear setup, similar to that, on there. But they didn't go as far as to do the front. Mine isn't near as good of a job either. I have NO idea what that rear setup came off of. like to see the work in progress on it though. ;)

Valves are pretty gummed and one of them is rusty, anyone have a remedy for this without having to rebuild the top end?
