Ryant Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Hi Guys, I am looking for some advise...I am wanting to remove the rotor from my DT Swiss rear hub and all the sites I have looked at say that it should pull off once the cassette lock ring and and the adapter has been removed.Mine does not. Even after tapping the cassette that had bit in the rotor off.Any one had a similiar problem and have some advise or tips on how to remove this?
Baaisikilist Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 That's the freewheel body.The rotor is the brake disk.
fanievb Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 ps. your rotor is removed by removing the 6 bolts holding to the hub, or by removing the lock ring (if you have centre-lock rotors)this is a rotor6 bolthttp://i.stack.imgur.com/b0r3k.jpgcentre lockhttp://g02.a.alicdn.com/kf/HTB19zF8IVXXXXcqXVXXq6xXFXXX2/Deore-SLX-SM-RT54-S-Disc-Brake-Rotor-Centerlock-160mm-2pcs-brake-bike-brakes-bicycle-mountain.jpg

DT Swiss Rear Hub.jpgPhoto.jpgYour description is off due to the DT swiss picture. In that picture they refer to the freehub body as the Rotor. Unfortunately I cannot help you as mine has always come off quite easily. Maybe spray some Q20 or something in there to loosen the dirt.
Ryant Posted November 3, 2015 Author Posted November 3, 2015 As Iapa said, the diagram from the DT Swiss Website refer to it as the rotor
droo Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 It should just pull off. Try putting the cassette back on and using it for better grip.
Ryant Posted November 4, 2015 Author Posted November 4, 2015 I still got no luck getting mine off.Even tried "jacking" it off with the cassette lock ring agaisnt the axel and still no movement.Going to have to take it in to the LBS and see what they can do

Try to get some penetrating oil (e.g. Q10) in there, soak overnight and have another go.

Particularly when they are wrong. The OP even posted a picture to show what he meant by rotor. Here it is again:
David Marshall Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 You are going to have to get creative. It seems that the bearings have seized onto the axle. As Droo suggests refit the cassette and with your knees on the tire try to lever it off. Failing that you will have to try and hold the cassette/freebody with the wheel free and "drift" the axle out with a plastic rod and plastic mallet. Unfortunately you can't remove the whole assembly with bearings by drifting the axle from the non drive side as the ring nut 4 in the diagram needs to come out before the drive side hub bearing can be removed.
