Hi all, anyone have the above hub (this one... http://www.halowheels.com/products/part/HUHAM6F2B )

Need to swap it to 15mm and with my old Spin Doctor it was two Allen keys in end, unscrew and swap. This new one is captive and for the life of me I can't figure out how to remove the qr end caps.

These are the replacement caps http://www.halowheels.com/products/part/HUHAM6FA2 (6th down)

Is it a pliers job?

Cheers

Put the end cap in the vice. Pull wheel up. They are held in with O-rings and they can take a bit of a yank.

Suspected it'd take some force just not this much! No vice at home unfortunately, will have to persevere.

Use Molegrips but put a bit of old inner tube between the jaws and the cap to minimise damage.

Sorted now, ended up clamping in workbench (need to sort a vice out). Stubborn little bleeders!
