Little side project…
Got a free pair of DA 7600 NJS hubs and I had never serviced a hub without sealed bearings before so I thought this would be an appropriate opportunity.
First challenge was to get the cog off without the lever from a wheel/bike to I got the dremel out.
After that I disassembled the hubs themselves; removed a ton of old grease and a lit of rust, too. Further, I spent half an hour for a NEVR DULL (TM) wellness treatment and lastly replaced the most worn-out balls with better ones I had kicking about.
tonight I plan to re-assemble. Front looks much better than the rear but I will still rebuild both for the fun of it
Curious about the end result. Hoping that the front turns out pretty much fine and with the rear one I want to find out what kinda difference (partial) ball replacement makes
PS love the CHILL ZONE rust remover
