....get the flippin thing apart so I can get at the bearings, flip the seals off and squirt some grease in there?
Previous Campag wheels that I have had have come apart by placing an allen key in either end of the hollow axle and undoing the threads.
The Khmasin's do not have this option and I can't see any way of getting the "end caps" (the bits that sit up against the drop-outs) off to get at the bearings.
Do they just slide off with brute force like Hope ones?

Thanks for this.
However, How do I get FH-VE010 off of the axle?
Page 24 of the .pdf refers.

Last bump for the pm crowd.
Speak to importers.
Is it parkers ??
Not sure if you are still interested, or if you have worked it out for yourself yet.
However the schematic in that pdf in the link is not accurate for the front hub of Khamsin rims.
Basically, on the inside of the FH-VE010 there is a little circlip of about 12mm dia. that goes into a grove around a one piece axle reaching the full length of the hub.
Now is the pain in the backside bit, because the clearance from the inside of the FH-VE010 of about 16mm to the outside of the axle, 12mm, give you only about 1.5mm each side to get the circlip out, circlip pliers don't fit, at least mine didn't.
What I ended up doing was;
Using two small 4 mm screwdrivers, or some jewellers screwdrivers of the flat bladed variety, place them in the gap of the circlip, and lever out. You will see the circlip start to release.
You need two hands to lever out the circlip, so trying to pry it out of the grove at the same time is hard.
Practice levering the screwdrivers once you have them 'opened up', and after a dozen or more goes, it will lever up out of the grove by itself.
Alternatively, while you are spreading the circlip, get a mate to use a small driver or his pinky finger nail. to move the circlip out of the way.
The type of bearing that is used is a 6001. Standard was a 6001-2RS, or was in mine at least.
