    hi there ,diazklm if u mean ultraflex ,then undo cover if fitted round hub ,then below that should be a 7/8 22mm hex nut ,undo but not complete off just so it reaches end of thread so u can hit with a drift /hammer whilst holding wheel to remove from shaft ,once loose u undo nut rest of way,please note there are different types of fitment for these steering systems and a adapter to fit new type of wheel may need to be purchased to allow for slightly different tapers or have one made up ,remember it must fitt correctly ,no sloppy fitts will do !!!!! a loose wheel is a dangerous wheel
