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.

Yeah I'm going to keep spraying the PB Blaster on it over the weekend
and take it on monday if nothing happens.
