HargrovesToby Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Any good local bike shop should be able to do it for you, its not overly hard mate. Where abouts are you based? toby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyBazz (: Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Could do it yourself... cheaper than posting.Buy a lockring tool, take the lockring of your king, twist the driver out, clean it all thoroughly, inside the shell etc.Then just put a few drops of oil in..this is what I did anyway, and it ran silky smooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam O Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) you dont need a tool. there is a small allen bolt on a lock ring undo that and take it of. (screw off) tap the axle where you took the ring of and it will pop out, take there driver out (bit with your cog on it) then if you lok on the inside there is a small plate nearest to you, get summet in there and crack it a couple of times evenly around and it will pop the bearing out(take note of what comes out in order). then you can fully service it cleaning everything and oiling it up again the just push it all back in and tap the bearing back in with a soft hammer. reverse the process and shabang!! could be a bit risky if your new to it but meh works for me.

Brisa Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 I think I had one of the first tarty played with kings as it was Daves old one I believe and it was fantastic. I have a new one on the way to me now and if it doesn't operate like the last one I will be asking what Adam can do for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 There is a nasty way of dismantling a King hub in which you lock the drive shell in place so it can't rotate in relation to the rest of the hub/wheel and hammer it out from the inside of the hub. I was forced to do this to my King a few years ago since I was changing the hub shell to disc, went fairly smoothly since the hub was old and the bearings didn't sit in place as tight as they should. However after replacing the hub shell, the bearings went in so tight that I doubt this process could be repeated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
