kappiemouton1985 Posted October 10, 2022 Share Hi Guys Need a little assistance. Need to remove a cassette body from 2021 scott spark 970. Think the bearings is busted but cant seem to get it off. It does not loosen with a allen key. Seems like the caps must come off. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
117 Posted October 10, 2022 Share You'll need a cassette tool and chain whip first to get the cassette off Google should help you locate some shops nearest to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetseun Posted October 10, 2022 Share When in doubt, take it to your LBS. Parts are so expensive, you faaaak it up because you tried to diy and wish that you had just dropped it off and had a pro sort it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertWhitehead Posted October 10, 2022 Share The freehub? It depends on the type of Hub you have but majority of them uses an 11mm (yip you heard right) an 11mm allenkey from the non drive side to loosen the freehub. The only problem: the bearings you want to service uses another tool to get to 😁. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some use a 11mm alan from the front and some from inside the hub from oposit side and alan bolt can be different sizes up to i think 17mm for Deore hubs.

Take a sharp nose plier and grip where I marked. Then as @Barrymentioned, it will just slide off dasilvarsa and ChrisF 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham W Posted October 10, 2022 Share Remove the disk then you need 2x17mm cone spanners. Hold the inner nut and remove the outter cap first the unscrew the inner nut the axle will now slide out the hub from the freewheel side. You should now be able to insert a allen-key to remove the freewheel. Good luck dasilvarsa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kappiemouton1985 Posted October 11, 2022 Share @Graham W. That worked perfectly. Unscrewed the endcaps, took he axle out. Used a 14mm allen key to take out the cassette body. So far so good. Now next part. Is this cassette body a fixed unit or is there a way to open it? Original problem, person cleaned bike with a degreaser(thought he did good) and after a day or two this cassette body was very very dry by the sound of it. Want to take apart and see whats the issue, bearing in front feels fine. dasilvarsa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham W Posted October 11, 2022 Share Unfortunately it's a sealed unit only the outter bearing can be replaced. Try cleaning out the ratchet side with penetrate oil WD40 is good stuff. Then try get grease back into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
