Back Wheel Disassembly

[DC74inc]

Remove four bolts,
Remove Massive Circlip,
THEN, it seems the bearing is double sealed.
Once with a threaded steel spacer,
under that a simple plastic seal.

It appears the threaded steel spacer has been tacked in place at the threads but by a rivet like dent, not weld. hm. anyone have some wisdom on rear tire disassembly>>??
Thx

Notice the 4 dots to install and remove the spacer.. I will make the tool for that, if it's even possible to remove.

That retaining nut needs a special peg spanner (wrench) to remove it. The other small indentations around the periphery are where it was staked to stop it coming loose. Carefully drill into each stake point with say an 1/8" drill and don't go more than say 1/8" deep. You just want to remove the indentation.

You will need to get a pin spanner though. http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=peg+spanner&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-USfficial&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=685381901430932669&sa=X&ei=zoTSTeHfO4OutwfArOyXCg&ved=0CCIQ8gIwAQ&biw=1371&bih=881#

Or see if your local bicycle shop has one and can remove it for you.

Is that 1/8in going to entail drilling barely into the threads, that seems drastic, like it Imight stake it up in a different way.

 

[teazer]

Yes, but you are only going in far enough to remove the staked material. Sometimes you get lucky and can just turn it with a pin spanner, but you risk damaging the threads.

That did it. Thanks teazer

Lol now the sprocket is fused to the hub with 40 years of stubbornness. Keep tapping and what not until something budges
