How To Take Apart A Tensile Ffw?


cai

Recommended Posts

Hey, I'm having problems with my Tensile FFW and I need to undo the lockring. I've checked the WiKi and ran the search but I can't find anything.

What 'tool' do I use to open her up? And which way does the lockring turn to open?

Cheers guys (Y)

He means a centre punch or a nail punch. Its basically fat steel nail that you use to punch the heads of nails in or mark metal with for drilling. If you can though I'd get the proper tool rather than mashing it up with a nail punch.

Do you have a vice, or a way of clamping the crank arm to something, a center punch, a hammer, stuff for cleaning it, stuff for relubing it afterwards, and all the stuff needed to get the crank arm off the bike and the pedal off?

If the answer to any of those is no, then you need to get them, otherwise it probably can't be done.

So I'm going to turn the lockring clockwise then - just double checking.

Because the topic was near the top, and no one was comenting, and I needed to know quickly. And I thought I was coming over as 'abit of a twat'.

Crank and pedal are both off. And I'll vice it up in Systems + Control tomorrow.

I dont have a center punch - but I imagine this goes in the 2 little holes? Can a small screwdriver be used?

Maybe, but a large nail with the end ground off a bit would be better.
