no need to pull the wheel if it has a rubber hub-freezing temps will never damage it...age and impact will tear it up,cold weather isn't a factor...just be sure to pull the wheel once a season-lube splines and rinstall

side note:
use no grease with mettalic compounds-especially "never sieze" you can create a galvanic reaction...
Not what my prop guy says. http://www.southeasternprop.com/index.htm He said that some times once the rubber shrinks due to the cold, that it will not expand back to its original diameter therefore resulting in a spun hub. I can't prove if he's right or wrong being as it seldom stays below freezing very long down here. Anyone want to put their prop in the freezer for several days to test his theory?
