Right then.
Mark at RetrospectBMX (cbrgill) has a tool that can do this with limited success. My brother Simon (Hootski70 on here) and I looked at using crank and pulley pullers with limited success too.
In the end the really bad ones we had to cut the rivets, turn the hubs inside out and re-bolt them temporarily and pass a big threaded bar through and wind them straight then turn them back round. Not what you want to do, but if they're really bad it's the only way ;-(
Pm me and I'll get Mark's number to you.

stfc:
Get a small G clamp ... put it against the face of the wheel using something to stop any scratches on the nylon, feed the other end through the wheel and put a long thin socket or something similar that wont bend through the wheel and on to the back of each "arm" section of your metal hub, put the other end against the G cllamp ,it will be at a slight angle so go slowly and do a bit at a time on each hub section until they are all level, turn over and repeat,you can also use another G clamp to span the rivets so as not to push them out , again do 1 section at a time ... The G clamps that have a turn type arm are better than the newer trigger type as you can wind back and forth and you have more control ,rather than just tighter and tighter until you push the release mechanism ,

I made this a long time ago, it worked but who knows where it is now????
