Changing hub bearings
Its difficult for many riders to demount their bearings properly. The outcome can be a destroyed hub. To avoid that, we put together an instruction.
1. Disassemble the nuts, the cone nuts and also the washer from the driver side.
2. The sprocket/driver must be removed by turns now. If the driver is stucked in the bearing, please use a tool. Leverage all around the driver to push it out.
3. Hold the hub with the driver side upwards. Take a plastic hammer and hit the axle carefully. The axle including the inner parts will come out of the hub shell slowly. Do not take a metal hammer, the axle will be destroyed. The only way getting the axle and the inner parts out of the hub is the former described way. The other way round will destroy parts of the Freecoaster.
4. Now the axle is disassembled from the hub-shell.
5. Disassemble the cone nuts and the washer from the non-driver side.
6. Now you can take off the non-driver side bearing.
7. Disassemble the bigger bearing from the driver side hub shell. Use a drift punch and put it from the non-driver side into the hub shell to hit the bearing out of the hub.
8. On the top of the hub shell you see the bigger driver-side bearing.
9. Disassemble the bearings from the driver. Use a drift punch or
something similar and put it from the backside into the driver to hit the small bearings out.
10. Reassemble the hub step by step. Take care of the bearings; assemble the driver side hub shell bearings and the driver bearings only by hitting the outer ring. The non-driver side bearing must be reassembled to the axle by hitting the inner ring of the bearing.
