Need some help. I'm trying to remove and grease my SRAM free hub body. I have removed everything I can, cassette etc. Apparently I should be able to put a 10m Allen key in,but that doesn't work. The body will also not just pull off. Any other suggestions?

I have seen a sram free hub removal tool online, but still don't think it would work looking at the hub. The wheels aren't too old at all, but I can't identify the specific hub model.

I'll have to take it to my lbs if not.

Thanks

    To elicit the most helpful responses it would be useful to tell us exactly what wheelset you have and also to post a pic of the hub/freehub. There are plenty of knowledgeable guys on here but you don't give much info to allow them to comment

    Sorry. The wheels are fulcrum racing sport. I don't think they are sram Hubs now after doing some research. I have heard it's accessible by a 12mm Allen key? Certainly tricky.

    I have tried uploading a photo but it won't work through my phone for sole reason. Sorry for the vague description.

    Thanks

    what you suggest is the way SRAM assemble their hubs, not the way FUlcrum assemble their hubs. If your wheels are Fulcrum, they most likely have hub caps that you remove, before sliding off the freehub. Post a photo or two, makes life simpler and avoids confusion

    Thanks, I will try and get a photo up later. There's is bearings either side. past the bears, is what looks like a torq fitting, doesn't actually look like hex. However I have seen this anywhere online. This can be accessed from the non drive side, as the drive side bearing are way too small to get anything larger than a 8mm through. Unless It required taking the drive side bearing out to get the body off, seems like a lot of work to do so, as all the others come across fairly simple
