Hi All,
Anyone know how to dismantle the freehub on a 2014 fulcrum 5? I've got the axle removed from the wheel with the freehub attached but I can't work out how to remove the freehub and replace the bearings. There's a nut on the end of the freehub and with a hex key in the axle I've given it more torque than feels entirely safe but it hasn't come out.
All the assembly docs and videos I can find refer to an older version. Mine has the tension adjuster on the non-drive side which nips up with a hex bolt.

May have to take a trip to the LBS with it....

Thanks in advance,

    Check online videos for your exact model (the ones I've pulled apart are cartridge bearing wheelhubs so a bit simpler) but if you have the non drive side nut off then the axle should just tap through the freehub. It's probably just quite tight on the inner bearing surfaces.
    Faster than a tent.......

    I thought that, but the axle has a raised part on it that's larger than the bearings so the axle won't tap through (it's not a pure shaft, it's been machined so there are different diameters along the length of it). There are no docs around that I can find for this particular model, but if you know of any please link them.
