Hi, I could feel a little movement in my Ultegra R600 rear wheel hub so thought it needs stripping down and resetting but it's a bit different from other Shimano hubs. I managed to unscrew the end stop with a small allen key but it looks like the nut needs a 20mm? cone spanner which I don't have. Any advice on working on this hub before I mess it up completely?

TIA

    Try the Shimano website tech documents and you will most likely find an exploded view of your hub. This can be of great help in getting it apart and back together correctly. It's not a huge deal but know what you're doing before you do it.
