Just remember that star is usually bloody sharp.

If it looks dirty/rusty your better off putting a new one
in there. No grease as it just attracts dirt.

Well I can't seem to locate the star, pulled off all three of the
rubber covers and shined a light inside, either I'm missing it or
something.

I'm actually starting to think it's just very rusted/fused to the hub.
I think I'm going to just take it in to the shop. Blah.
