having dismantled my hub I find I missed a shot in the PDF and I need a special splined tool to remove a threaded ring on top of the drive side bearing. Anyone near Lancaster got one I can borrow ?

If you struggle locally Mr B I can post you one...I trust you (I've pinched your bum and everything 😯 ).Emither in profile.
cheers - whoever you are 🙂 The shop which sold me the wheel [i]may [/i]have one - will find out tomorrow...
I only recall a Chinese girl from Blackburn & District doing that 🙂
Was she racing cx at Northwich aswell?
I can still recall exactly where it happened near Climb Stile! [img]

Tell then to heat the hub before hand
Got a home made one you can borrow if you want.

what, heat the hub to make the thread easier to undo ? And who is 'them' ? I don't understand the heating bit, you just hammer, or drive the bearing in with a threaded rod and a mandrel - they're a snug fit but not really mad tight as there only needs to be quite a bit more friction than in the bearing...
(thanks Bolt, will get in touch if I need to 🙂
thanks, but The Edge in Lancaster, who sold me the wheel, whipped out the ring in 2 minutes, and it goes back in with just finger pressure 🙂 I hadn't expected it to be that easy!
Now I'm wondering if the ratchet ring on Hope hubs also screws in? I trashed one when a pawl broke, and Hope replaced it for a nominal charge. I'd assumed it was a push fit but in that case I don't know how you'd get it out...
