Juan Posted June 22, 2009 Share Which way does it come out? towards the freebody or the other way? Can someone please explain how to remove it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted June 22, 2009 Share try the following: http://bicycletutor.com/freehub-body/http://bicycletutor.com/replace-freewheel/[soz for not giving active links. I think there is a bit of an issue with the TheHub and Opera 10 Beta] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted June 22, 2009 Share With cone spanners, allen keys or a mallet. It all depends on what type of hub it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan Bornman Posted June 22, 2009 Share You don't say what type of hub you have. Some cartridge bearing hubs restrict you in which way the axle comes out. With cup and cone bearings it can come out any way. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juan Posted June 23, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Posted June 24, 2009 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan Bornman Posted June 24, 2009 Share Moer it back. I can't see what type of hub this is and don't know what type of bearings are in there. As I said, if it is cartridge bearings, the technique will be completely different from cup-and-cone bearings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlek Posted June 24, 2009 Share thats a novatec hub and as far as i know they are normal cup and cone bearings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Posted June 24, 2009 Share 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?

droo Posted June 24, 2009 Share Novatec it is, seems to be a G342GCC, which is cup and cone. Put the hammer away, and read up on how to service this type of hub on Park Tool's site. http://www.novatec.com.tw/novatec/english/p_show.php?sid=323 Edit - missed your last post. Make sure you have taken everything out, cone included - you should be able to see ball bearings around the axle. If not, then you've either left something behind, or it's a sealed bearing hub. I can't find exploded views of the cup and cone hubs online, but the link below has of the sealed bearing type. http://www.novatec.com.tw/novatec/english/download.php?dir=file&filename=1236219739.pdfdroo2009-06-24 02:09:03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Posted June 24, 2009 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted June 24, 2009 Share New question then - why are you trying to get the axle out? Start by looking for a service manual, it'll have a disassembly sequence on it. Chances are you'll need special tools though, expanding drifts and such. My advice - LBS it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Posted June 24, 2009 Share Taking out the axle to service the hub, bearings, etc. Will look for a service manual. Thanks for the help, Droo, much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
