    as per the title really. I have a broken freehub and a replacement itching to go on but Can I shift it? nope. I don’t have a vice to put the 11mm hex into and I only have one pair of arms.

    does anyone have clever ideas as to how I shift it?

    thanks in advance

    Old pair of bars over the allen key for more leverage?

    as he says – wheel on floor upright – brace it against your leg and get your weight on the allan key with a tube over it to give more levearage

    Wrap some tape round the allen key and the pipe so when it does realease the pipe doesnt shoot off downwards, and you end up falling on your wheel like i did .

    Yeah, I don’t have a long hollow bar to hand (moving house so everything is boxed and/or at the new house). gonna have to take it to parent’s house (step dad has a vice if not a long bar). it’s well on there!
