Hi,

I found a beautiful Miche rear wheel. Only trouble is the freehub needs service but I cant get the bolt out. I disassembled the hub as far as shown in the picture below. So far I have tried a 10 mm Allen key + lever counter clockwise only with the success, that the corners are now rounded :( Am I missing something? Is there a lock ring or something? Any ideas on how to get the free hub off ?

Thank you
Stephan

    Normal right-hand thread - but you won't get enough leverage from a regular allen key, you'll need more leverage. Alternatively, hold allen key in bench vice and turn the wheel. Run some light oil or penetrating fluid in there and leave for a while.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
