Need some help from anyone thats done a silt or scribe rear wheel bearing replacement. Mine have packed up after a not so long 10hrs or so of riding. A little miffed but so far Silt have been great.
Anyway, i have the ratchet tool. Freehub is off as is the disc. End caps removed. Ratchet tool in place and fok me….will it budge??! Seems like i need a pneumatic press to free it. Have had my 85kg off the ground and on the tool and no joy. Rock solid and not coming undone. Much more force and I’m going to end up twisting the spokes.
Its the same basic principle as the Scribe hub and they have a rather annoying service video implying it can all be done by hand! So what am i missing??!
Help!
This may help…………
The ratchets on those sorts of hubs are super tight!
Groan. Groan. Groan. I tend not to be too loyal to complete and utter PITA!!
Words similar to clucking bells.
Mine are less than 6 mths never mind 6 years!!! Due to a crash and surgery they’ve also had a grand total of 45miles on them followed by 2-3 months of standing doing not a lot.
Fix and replace me thinks
well for what it's worth, if anyone else has a similar ratchet hub issue, a Samuel Jackson BIG MFB sorted it. Aka a ****in long bar! Well a 3ft long wrench. Similar principle to that video.
Tis going back together with a film of anti-sieze grese on the threads.
