Make sure you have said little gizmo. It would have saved me 2 hours by the
side of the road if I had known to look for it. Doh.

It's a short black plastic dowel about 4 inches long, threaded at one end.
Before you remove the last stud, you insert this into the wheel to hold the
two parts of the hub together (keeping the holes aligned). The wheel slides
off over this.
