Bigman Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Righty then, the other day my axle snapped, and i have no idea of how i am gunna remove it, nick has sent me a tool which we used to remove his last week but it has yet to arrive, and i want to get it all taken apart today so that i can send the relevent parts that i need to, thing is, is it has snapped just inside the cassette body, right by the notched lock rin, there is no was of clamping anything on there, so basicly what can u guys think i could try.

AdamR28 Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 1 x 5mm allen key 1 x lockring adjusting tool Hold lockring with tool (might need a vice), and then undo the non drive side end cap with allen key. Lockring should then unscrew easily (holding the axle by hand). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishwog Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Last time I checked there are no bearings inside an axle..... :) :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 If you wedge something between an axle and the cassette body so you can undo the axle you will f**k the bearings. :o" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about jamming it in the axle its self. Not your dodgy interpritation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
