Just as Pete says (I find myself surprised at typing that  :LolLolLolLol:)

Frosty:
depends how close to the hub the spokes have been cut.

I bought a set of bullseye hubs and didn't realise the spokes had been cut out and I have tried the local bikes shop and my own various methods and I cannot the bloody cluster off >:(

The problem with the Bulleyes is that they are three piece and unfortunately the cluster side flange does not extend across the barrell like the other side does.

Mattdub:
My LBS had to re-lace when I bought a pair of hubs & the previous owner had left the freewheel on !! twat !

SaMAlex:
What ever you do to hold the hub, its a good idea to get the freewheel apart first so you dont have to use a crappy freewheel removing tool. Try grinding the lock ring off or grinding the teeth ring in half. It should all come apart and you will be left with just the inner core, which is easy to get a good hold of in a vice, and you screw the hub away from it.

I have heard about people making "pin tools" out of a lump of ally and dowl pins, but I think lacing a rim onto the free side of the hub has got to be the way ... as long as the hub aint in 3 sectons. You might find you end up with the free flange coming away from the center tube (I dont know how bullseye hubs are constructed?)
