Hi,

I'm trying to replace a broken spoke on my wheel but before i can do that I need to remove the rotor (disk brake) from the hub gear. (SHimano Alfine Sg-S500). This is where i'm having trouble, i have no idea how to remove the rotor as there are no obvious screws to undo.

My hub looks similar to this:

I can't find any videos online of how to do this. Only exploded drawings of the components which dont really describe how to take it apart.

Any help would be great..

Thanks

Iain

    Hi,
    I can't be certain but I think the disc is centre-lock and will be held on by a lockring at the hub. If so you'll need a cassette lockring removal tool to undo it.
    Hope that helps

    No need for a chain whip on center lock discs.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.
