Removing Freewheel hubs - Fairey
By: clunk Date: January 21, 2012, 1:50 am

{From Ye Olde Forum}
After a couple of one in one out situations I decided to ditch
the free wheel hubs. Too many multiple drive choices as senility
beckons.
These are 24 spline hubs, so have the castle nut, distance piece
and spiralox ring, other wise probably the same method as 10
spline hubs.

out with the grub screw

your actual hens tooth, so don't loose it
under the grub screw apparently just a countersunk hole

except it is the loop of a nylon insert. The manual speaks of a
plastic rod to fish it out, I used a chop stick. Use of
a screw driver is probably risky as like the grub screw they
don't make 'em like that any more

push gently against the hub as you extract the nylon insert as
there is a large spring inside the hub

remove the castle nut and distance piece, you'll need them for
the new hub.

and the drive member

there is an O ring on the drive member apparently it is a
standard size so replaceable BS1806 - 038 NBR {according to S2
Forum}

the free wheel drive boss and the standard drive boss {571711
£15.99}
as it is 24 spline there is a groove a few mm down in the spline
which takes a spiralox ring, you'll not retrieve the old one
from the free wheel drive boss so you need a new one
{556445 £0.49}

off without heating it up and melting it or knocking seven bells
out of it with a big hammer!!!
