NVWOCI WVS Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 (edited) Theres a guide on the Hope website.edit: i was wrong, not for the pro2.i'm pretty sure you get the bit inside the freehub body and pull it out with a pair of pliers.

psycholist Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 If it's like their other hubs you should be able to pull the freehub off the hub by pulling the freehub away from the hub while spinning it in the freewheeling direction.

psycholist Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Not based on the Hope XC's I've pulled apart (But I'll reiterate that I've never opened a Pro2. It should just be a matter of pulling on the cassette - officially you're meant to take the end cap off the axle first, but pulling on the cassette is easier a lot of the time.

Broomer Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 nope just give the freehub a good tug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psycholist Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Sometimes you have to give them candy... Pull harder. You can try taking the cassette off and taking the end cap off the hub first as moving them one by one may be easier... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strelly Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 (edited) I had this problem a few weeks ago, i found that clamping (with a molewrench) onto the end cap... and tugging and twisting works.Dont bother trying to just pull of the cassette body, its just a much harder method.Ill get a pic for you in a sec, makes it much easier!CharlieOk..Just put the mole grip like this:Pull and wiggle and the same time and it should ease off:After that the cassette body should pull off, do it slow... watching for the pawls and springs!

2sixstreet Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Wrap a rag around the end cap before you go grabbing it with vicegrips if you want to keep it in good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 (edited) They're the same as Profile's.Put one of the bolts in the non-drive side, and start to tap it with a mallet. This will push the axle through the body, and push off the end cap of the axle on the otherside.Then you'll have the axle, with a hub shell bearing, and driver etc on it.Now you need to get the drive off, just open up a vice so the cog fits on top, and put the other bolt in the axle, and tap it with the mallet. This then pushes the axle the other way so everything comes off.Now it's all in bits, and you can start taking the pawls and springs out of the driver body (remember which way they go!*) Now clean up the bearing, just wipe any grease/oil off it with some kitchen roll.Slot the axle through the drive side (give it a clean first), so it sits in place through the hub bearing still in the hubshell, now get the other hubshell bearing, and slide it down.With alll the pawls and springs out of the drive body, slide that onto the axle, and gently tap it down so the bearing sits nicely in place in the hubshell. Using the driver keeps the bearing nice and flush, and having the pawls and springs out stops you from breaking stuff.You should have the axle sat firmly in place between the bearings. Now just clean up inside the ratchet, and clean all the springs and pawls, and then the driver body too.Now it's time to put the pawls and springs back in place. * It's vital that you remembered which way they go, because otherwise you'll have it all in the wrong way and it won't engage. I find it's easier to slot the spring in first, then the pawl goes on second. It's kinda fiddley, but you'll manage it.Once they're all in, spin the driver so it'll click as it goes round (anti-clockwise?) as it spins, start pushing it down. This should start engaging the pawls so they'll stay in the ratchet.Once that's in, just get the end caps for the axle, and press them on (tap them with the mallet too)Now when you put it in the frame and tighten it up, the end caps will then be firmly pressed in place, and you're done!You can put some thin oil on the pawls and springs before you put the driver in, something like Finishline oil is perfect. But I've ran my Profile dry since I've had it and it doesn't skip. (Only when the bearings break!)EDIT: Forgot to mention! On Profile's there's a small washer that goes between the hubshell and the driver, not sure if you get them in ProII's but keep an eye out for it if there is one. You'll need to put that in before you slot the driver in, otherwise the driver won't spin when you put it all back together!
