NEVER HAMMER the end of a motor shaft. The metal is soft and will smash. If the wheel is spinning (moving no matter how hard) on the shaft then your almost there. Lub the shaft in the hole where the set screw was. You may have to file the edges of the motor shaft at the end to get the hub to pass by. Just do the edges and keep trying to get the wheel to spin off. It will do it. The test of doing one of these is try try again.
