How to remove freehub body ?
Skyforger
Posts: 31
I have cassette sprocket, and i need to replace the axle with bearings and the free-hub body is in the way for few millimeters to get the broken bearing out. All i have to do is open the nit with the special key (for some reason the freewheel special key) but it is quite stiff and i just want to make sure i am opening it right way.
Pictures will follow.

you need a bigger tool then. a big breaker bar.
and good luck if you ever need a new cassette for that."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

what do u mean good luck with the new cassette ? Is that one old make or what ?
I am thinking to take it to the garage next door put it in the vice.
Before i do that i just want to make sure i am doing it right and i am not missing anything ? there is no clockwise opening ?0 -
I have never seen one before. Vice is the best way though.0

+ 1 on never having seen one like that either."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
