Front Hub Instructions

DISASSEMBLY

oosen the set screw located in the adjusting collar by using a 2mm allen wrench. Insert the allen wrench in the access hole on the hub shell and turn counter clockwise about 2-3 turns.
Pull out the axle end located next to the hub collar. If the axle end will not pull out by hand, thread a 6mm bolt into the axle end, slide the QR skewer thru the hub from the opposite side. Tap on the end of the QR to drive the axle end from the axle.
nce the axle end is removed, push the axle thru the shell and out the non-adjustable side. You will need to use a dowel or socket that is the same size as the outside diameter of the axle to get the axle to move thru the hub shell. Check the bearings in the hub shell for roughness. If it is determined that the bearings are in need of replacement, pull the bearings from the bearing bore utilizing a bearing removal/puller tool. A hammer and punch may also be used by striking at the back inner race of the bearing working the bearing from the bearing seat outwards.

ASSEMBLYIf new bearings are needed, press the bearings into the hub shell utilizing a bearing press. A socket the same diameter as the outer race of the bearing can be used in place of a press. Align the socket with the bearing race and use a mallet to tap the bearing in place. Do not tap on the bearing seal or inner race as this can damage the bearing beyond repair. Make sure the bearing presses into the bearing bore straight.
Slide the axle along with the fixed axle end back into the hub so that the open end of the axle emerges on the access hole side of the hub shell. If the fixed axle end is loose in the axle, it must be locktited back into the axle before assembling the hub. A light coat of oil or grease should be applied to the axle to help its movement thru the bearings.
Install the adjusting collar and the adjustable axle end. The recess on the adjusting collar should face outwards.
In order to adjust the hub, set the hub down on the fixed axle end and apply downward pressure to the hub/wheel rim. Press down on the adjusting collar to take up any play in the hub. Tighten the set screw snuggly. Do not adjust the hub by pushing on the adjustable axle end as this will not take play out of the hub. Do not attempt to adjust the hub by applying lateral force such as tightening it with the QR skewer or placing it in a truing stand.
Once the set screw is tight check for lateral play by placing the palm of your hands on axle ends. Push back and forth. You should not feel the axle sliding if the hub is adjusted properly.
