swivel hubs - removing drive clutch?

Post by Froon »

Okay, so this is a really silly question... I've spent most of today trying to figure out how to get one of these off after removing the free wheeling hub itself and the c-clip that 'holds it all on'

To start...

I lost drive to my front wheels at Christmas and due to various things, I've been putting it off and putting it off in regards to checking out and fixing the GQ.

Anyway... first thing I noticed when I removed the free wheeling hub is the fact that the thing fell apart as soon as I took it off... other thing I noticed was that the inside of it was full of really thick/greasy oil... which appears to be a mixture of bearing grease and diff oil (I imagine I'm in for doing seals too)

Finally, I noticed that the drive clutch is sitting about 5mm further inside the hub on the GQ than in the donar diff and there is alot of wear on the edge of the gears where it looks like the free wheeling hub has been slipping.

Anyway... how do I freaking remove this thing from the shaft?

remove the clip grab the multigrips and pull off easy you might have a bur on the groove where the c clip is which will make it harder to remove

hope this helps Brad

Thanks...

I gave that a try many times yesterday... I discovered today that the ring that is around it has been put on backwards... So the lip is on the outside holding the drive clutch in... Still have been unable to get it off...
