I can't remember what front hub it is but it's quite old..bulb..big un or something...

I've converted them before from 20mm to qr but have now got a 20mm fork.

I can't remember how to remove the bearing cover part on the outside of the hub. Does it pull off or need drifting off or what. I've tried prizing off but can't get a screwdriver underneath flange.

Any help appreciated please!!!

BULB just looks like a normal hub (Big Un's Little Brother), Big Un is a monster.

from memory the BULB qr adapter just screws together. Takes a 4 or 5mm allen key in each end and turn them against each other to take it apart (normal thread direction)

Legend...you're living up to your name!!

Yes must be a BULB as you suggest as have inserted 5mm allen key into each end and have unscrewed in the conventional manner anticlockwise et voila!

Unless you look carefully at hub you wouldn't think it has hex holes for an allen key.

You've saved me smashing up my hub with a hammer!!

Many thanks and ride safe! :o)
