I've got my freewheel hub off and want to clean up the inside. How do I get this apart?

Do I need to remove the toothed item marked 'B'? If so, then I need a tool which I don't have.

The threaded part 'A' is quite loose.

Are freewheel hubs pretty standard items? i.e. if I wanted to buy a new one, what would I buy? It's from a Boardman Team FS. The rear hub is unbranded, but some research seems to indicate its possibly by Formula.

    You do not.

    B is not part to undo it is the means of it locating in the hub.


    If you really want to have ago and don't mind the bike being out of action for a while read the info on Sheldons pages.

    Of course it is. Stupid me. Spent too long looking at the hub and not the wheel I just took it off!

    PS. Where's Sheldons pages?
