Orgun_Donor Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Well today I was in heaven while being in hell at the same time.Yes i was riding Porthcawl this weekend, Saturdays weather wasn't the greatest, and the wind made for some interesting riding. But today, after being out for an hourish, mt rear axle snapped in my T-master Hub. After being mightaly pissed, I managed to chill and had a play with the broken axel... but how the hell do you get it out? I have a spare in another hub, but dont have any idea what so ever on how to get this axle out!P.S. - I have already tried hitting with a hammer :$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogre Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 wheres the axle snapped? inside the hub or outside the hub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgun_Donor Posted November 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Outside the hub, right next to the bearings. Rest seems fine and works perfecly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onza Kieron Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 i THINK you just hit the axle with a hammer, the hub is otherwise f**ked anyway so you may aswell give it a try. Remember to take the cones off first though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Kearns Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 There are no cones on a t-master hub, They are sealed, Also you just hit the sprocket end of the axle and the axle will just come out.Also, How the hell did you snap it I have been running mine a good 2 years with no problems.Dan.

Orgun_Donor Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Yea i have another T-Master Hub, and comparing the axels, one looks like a aluminium, and the other is steel.... maybe... And it snalled while i was riding along, and jeans got caught in the freewheel, same time it snapped! SUCKS!Ill take a hammer and a punch to it in a bit try and get it out.

TheMunn Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 You need to take the axle out of the non-drive side on the hub, there must be something going around because I snapped my one 2 weeks ago too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onza Kieron Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Ermmm, they do have cones, the silcer things near the ens of the axles, withthe teeny allen key screw in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
