Is the measurement taken from centre to centre?

Ah... Sorry, Droo. I didn't see your previous post. Thank you, the front hub is the easy one, its the rear that is doing my head in!

I hope it works, i'll let you know the outcome of the experiment... Might be a costly one...

Okay, I emailed Novatec and this is what they came back with... Hi Juan, thanks for email. We dont have instruction for D142SBT hub, but we have instruction for similar 2SB (2 SEALED BEARING) road hub. Please use this ling: http://www.novatec.com.tw/novatec/english/tec_r.php then choose: 2SB ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION(STEP1-6) 2SB DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS(STEP1-4) Hope it will be useful to you. Kind regards, Milan Krusinsky marketing manager I'll try it this evening, hope it works.LinkyJuan2009-06-25 01:01:42

http://www.novatec.com.tw/novatec/english/images/upload/T_MTB_class/1157125899/big_file1.jpg So this is how im going to try do it. im going to remove the soft aluminium nut on the left and use 2 nuts, lock them together on the axle to loosen the nut on the right. Which should mean that i can moer the axle out to the left. Then take the free body off. Think is will work?Juan2009-06-24 05:31:21

Taking out the axle to service the hub, bearings, etc. Will look for a service manual. Thanks for the help, Droo, much appreciated.

Okay... i had a look on the Novatec site and it this one, D142SBT. here is the exploded view. How now? see pic below... I have damaged 14 due to using inferior cone wrenches. Any ideas how to Droo?

Ja, its a Novatec hub. not sure what bearings it has. Most probably cup and cone. "With rear cup and cone bearings you always remove the left side jam nut and cone and pull the axle out through the freehub. This is so that you dont have to sukkel to adjust cones and jam nuts in the recesses of the freehub body." this doesn't work, johan, or am i being thick?

Ok... here are some pics. I've loosened the nut on the other side to push the axle through the free body. it wasn't that easy though... So, i resorted to a mallet and some passive persuasion... Then after m*#ring it a few times the free body is unable to turn... Which kind of tells me that it shouldn't be m*#red... What am i doing wrong?

Thanks Capricorn - mine doesn't work like that. Hog - unfortunately the angle grinder wont be an option here. The Bike is a 07 Silverback Nebraska - i will post some pics of the hub later toady. Trying to get specs of it but have had no luck.

Which way does it come out? towards the freebody or the other way? Can someone please explain how to remove it?

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

Hi Guys, I'm in need of some advice. I'm trying to remove my crank so that I can get to my bottom bracket. I've got shimano hollowtech cranks and octalink bottom bracket. I'm trying to remove it with a Park crank puller, but the way the puller works is that it needs to push against something in the bb to push the crank arm off, not so. But there is nothing for it to push on because it is hollow. I've tried all sorts of heath robinson things, but nothing is working. Help me please!

and how much for that? Is their stuff back in the shops now Shamus? I just enquired and this Kit is R 9 200!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks dudes, Looks like ti will be betted to create my own kit.
