You have to use lots of anti seize paste on the hub face and back of
wheel.

The problem is electrolysis from dis-similar metals and the hubs can
literally get fused onto the wheel so the rim gets destroyed removing
it.

The anti seize paste can be obtained at any auto parts store and lasts
for years.
