Anybody know how to remove the bearings from an xd its-4 freehub!
Is it a sealed unit? Worth emailing Mavic?
done several, they push in from wheel side. too tight and alloy spacer gets stuck, sockets set and vice is your friend
Thanks for the reply but there's no way these can be removed from the wheel side,the collar ring at the top in the photo needs to come out; but is it press fit, threaded, glue and not supposed to come out?
Wally, here.
Gone into the garage and found the hub....
pic to follow, these really are doable.

See that circlip?
Squeeze, remove and push out from the other end with a socket set and vice.
10 min job.
But this is the shimano no XD... going to get one of those out now....

Not sealed no. Rest outer lip on a vice and a few hits with a correct sized socket and Mr Persuader
Et Voila
