Workshop: How to overhaul your freehub

It's agreeable for water and dirt to get into your freehub, and once it's there it'll make your bike clunk and kibble like an old lift.

Fixing this problem requires paramount tools and a little extra know-how. If you follow the steer below, you should be fine. But if in doubt, especially on step three, have it done by a pro.

Nine-step manage to fixing your freehub

These are the tools you'll need:

10mm and 12mm Allen keys Allen key multi-implement Extension tube/bar Chain whip Lockring remover Cone spanners 17mm spanner If you have a Campagnolo hub, you'll also want a Campag pawl holder ( www.campagnolo.com , www.chickencycles.co.uk )

1 Rub out your cassette

Remove the rear wheel and immobilise the cassette using a tie whip. Wrap the chain whip in a clockwise supervision on the third cog or the one allowing maximum chain wrap. Insert the cassette lockring shape and align a longish spanner to the left of the chain scoot handle, close enough to enable a two-handed grip. Now hold firmly, unscrewing lockring and cogs. The forbearance between the cassette lockring and axle locknut can prevent incontestable splined tool brands from fitting correctly, but a Shimano or Estate tool will always work.
