MegaSack DRAW - 6pm Christmas Eve - LIVE on our YouTube Channel
I have a set of Hunt Enduro wide wheels.
Front bearings are knackered.
Does anyone know how to get to them?
I'm used to hope hubs.
The end cap pulls out but there is then another loose cap that won't pull out.
I've looked on Hunts site but nothing for this hub.
Any help appreciated.
I'd try the web chat on the Hunt site, they're pretty good usually.
Theres a video on the Hunt youtube channel Here , i did it about 6 months ago and cant remember exactly what i did but it wasnt overly difficult. I do remember using an allen key and some spanners (I know useless info, hopefully the vid helps)
Probably an Allan key in either side. Unwind and pop out. Circlip probably infront of the bearing. Take circlip out and punch bearings out.
Will be likely pull the end cap off (use an expanding tool on the inside of them to prevent damage to them, Unior Hub genie for example), then drift axle out which pushs one bearing off, then drift out or use a slide hammer with expanding wedge to tug the other one out.
Some hubs use a 8/10/12/14mm allen key on one end and a cone spanner on the other to unthread the axle from its retainer on the far side.
Have found Hunts munch bearings pretty quickly, they don't have much water ingress protection so keep hose pipe away from them. Though had a customer last week who's wheels were new in October, bike never washed (so not hosepipe/pressure washer/solvent related), but probably done about a thousand miles on and off road and F+R bearings are all wrecked. Replace with Enduro stainless and never look back I think is the way forward!
