Cool thanks guys!There is a set screw in the hub, loosen it and the pin will come out, be careful not to strip the screw use heat if you have to.

With all due respect, I prefer a quality L-key for any screw that requires any real "torque" to install or remove.. I get much better leverage/feel from my L-keys than a nut driver. Just me✌2.5mm hexed grub screw is inside the axle. Clean it out of any dirt first!
Loosen it. Doesn't even need to be Removed at all. But use a torch or Heat first to loosen the Threaldocker first. Like stated above. Or you will strip the Grub screw and will Cry. Don't use the "L" hex wrenches at all. Toss them if you are!!! MIP hex drivers are the best. What I used for 20+ years now.
Need a nice Handled Hex driver. Then use an awl or similar to tap out the "Cross Pin". That grub screw does not even need any Threadlocker and doesn't need to be tight at all. Just Snug. The Cross Pin is held captive anyway by the wheels Hex when installed.
You took a good hit on that Hex adapter. Replacing it at all? The threads are all tore up. Look closely for other impact damage there.
Force the pin out with a punch. You will have to use force to get it back in as well. I have a stripped out grub screw in one of my Arrmas and don't feel like replacing the stub axle so I go through this every time I need to change the bearings.Guys I tried my best To get the grub screw out but unfortunately after Half an hour all I did was wear down the grub itself (I did blast it with a heatgun for 5 mins before attempting to unscrew to loosen the glue) . So now it’s really hard to get a grip on that bastard haha. Any ideas on how to remove it now?
They go easier after being hammered a few times,LOL. I got a couple disciples in the herd too be sure those wheelnuts are nice and tight!!Force the pin out with a punch. You will have to use force to get it back in as well. I have a stripped out grub screw in one of my Arrmas and don't feel like replacing the stub axle so I go through this every time I need to change the bearings.
I usually apply heat until I smell the TL burning. A sweet smell. The smell of success.If you don't have a mini torch, a pencil-type soldering iron might work. As long as you can get the tip of the soldering iron in to the grub screw, it should work. That's how I get mine loosened: some screws need to be heated longer than others, but it's never failed yet.
