Freehubs can cost a fortune, can be a nightmare to track down, and some you just can’t get anymore. But what if I told you you could just repair the old one? Well, in this video, I’m going to show you exactly that.
I did a video a few weeks ago, and in it I noticed that the freehub bearings on the bike I was working on had failed, and I said I’d do a video on how to fix it, well this is that video.
*To do this job, you’ll need the following tools:*
Your normal spanners and hex keys.
A Blind Bearing Puller Set
A Bearing Press Set
A Pick or Small Flat Screwdriver
Some Degreaser Spray
A Clean Cloth
Light grease
Light oil
