1. Pull of freehub side cap
2. Pull off freehub and the little spacer with it
3. Walk around looking for one of the springs
4. Check under the fridge, where it is found.
5 Wonder why as thats in another room
6. Dismiss
7. Look for soft faced hammer
7b. Find in back garden after 3 hours searching
8. Hold the hub body in one hand with the drive side end of the axle facing up
9. Wallop the drive side axle end with the hammer as hard as you can
10. Drop hub and allow pain to subside
11. Pick up hub and repeat the process avoiding hitting yourself this time.
12. When the non drive side bearing pops out, slide it away with the rest of the axle
13. Suddenly realize that to get the axle off the bearing you need a hole through a piece of wood
14. Ignoring the urge to use the kitchen work surface go out the the shed and find a small plank
15. Look and find to your surprise and pleasure that the drill is where you left it and the correct size of drill bit is with it.
16. Discover it has no charge and that takes 8 hours.
Day Two
1. Drill a hole through the piece of wood
2. Discover you now have a permanent jig in the kitchen work top
3. Slide axle through hole till the bearing rests against the wood then hammer the bearing off
4. Holding the hub in your hand. slide the axle in from the other end and repeat the hitting of it to free the drive side bearing
5. Repeat stage 3 (Day Two)
Bearings out of freehub you say :shock: :shock:
OK
You will need a length of steel. 6mm in diameter A blowlamp. A hammer. a bench vice
Hold the steel rod tightly in the vice and leave the blowlamp propped up to enable it to sit in the flame hands free. When it glows cherry start hitting it on top.
What you are trying to do is create a large burr. Its this 'burr when filed (oh yeah
you need a file) will allow you to reach inside the freehub and with the burr placed under the edge of the bearing it can be slowly drifted out (tiny movements are the key here working your way around the edge)
Once the end bearing is out you have a large circlip then a spacer like the one that came off when you removed the freehub itself. Actually is it not the spacer first then the circlip :?
Drifts i make out of hardwood because i can turn it down exactly to dimension. Something like a section of a reasonable quality brush handle. Its good because it its oversized anybody with some sandpaper can bring it down to size without any problems
) to do a Zipp carbon middle hub
