GT Hubs

Hi guys
I would like to put some fresh bearings to my GT Hadley front and rear hub , could anyone tell me how to take the cones off ?
Thank you

@dresdladiory did you manage to figure this out? Aren’t they just 5mm hex in the axle to get to the bearings?

I have a rear hub that I’d like to service so was curious if you solved the conundrum?

You're a legend, thanks a lot !

I've just started tearing down the rear and got this far....!

I'm pretty sure I read that Hadley had a hand in designing or making SPIN hubs because these internals look very familiar.


My pliers dont quite fit to remove this dust cover from the freehub (FFS)
The freehub did just pull off when messing around with the dust cover, don't lose this spacer between the freehub body and the main hub bearing. I think the hub bearings are 6001

next job will be to gentle tap the axle out....tbc

Drift out the non-drive side by knocking the axle through….and there you have it

Used a bearing puller to remove the drive side.

Free hub is 6001 as well. I’d go for NTN’s no contact seal if you can find them ;-)
