I've seen the Hope video on how to disassemble the main hub and bearings from a rear Pro2, but the bearings inside the freehub are mentioned only very briefly & I can't seem to find a guide anywhere.
Any advice on what to use to drift them out &, more importantly, an easy way to get new ones back in without damaging them?
Note - Pro 2 Evo freehub is different to Pro 2 as it appears to have a small spacer between the two bearings closest to the main hub body. Whilst the outer drive side bearing looks fairly easy to knock out, the small spacer doesn't move enough to get much purchase on the last two bearings.
bump - anyone?
Heat the hub with hot water and freeze the new bearings makes it much easier.
to get the new ones in you need something circular the right size so it only touches the outer bearing race. I have used sockets ( but beware the chamfer on them) and seat pin bushes before.
there is a set of correct tools from hope or I believe kaesae on here hacd some made
Edit - you usually can knock a spare to the side enough to get purchase on the bearings
There are specific bearing removal tools and even bearing presses. Wheels manufacturing do home mechanic versions of these tools.
Hope do a drift though and
