Just changed the central bearing on one of my DT hubs, all went better than expected but just having a spot of bother getting the seal that sits between the freehub and hub back in, it doesn't feel the most durable so not keen to kill it. Any useful hints before i just apply a larger hammer? (other than "use the proper tool"!)

Ta!

I have a pot of dt swiss. 240s grease if you want before you go bashing it up.
£20 a pot, £10 to you sir! 🙂

I'm good for grease thanks! (slick honey works really well in these)

PS, use freehub (with no bearings in) as seal driver, sorted.

Make sure you've got the drive ring in the right way up.Otherwise it won't screw in far enough and the seal won't seat no matter what you hit it with.

It goes with the recessed face down/in, right?
