Hi,

Im trying to remove the bearings from an old Hope XC freehub, all the guides say you need to push the spacer in between the bearings to the side to gain access to bearing faces to drive out outer bearing, but I can get the spacer to move at all.

Am I doing something wrong? Any ideas?

cheers

I use the short end of an Allen key to lever it down

Nice looking hammer.
The spacer should move with a little per orange
Or use an expanding bearing tool ( raw bolt )
And then tap out the bearing nice and square
