This process looked simple. Can't work it out. I don't know what hub it is, it's got alloy flanges with a crabon body.
So after pulling off the spacing covers, there is a retaining clip I have removed on one side (side A) which is on the outside of the bearing. After removing the clip, I knocked the axle through from the other side (side B), and the bearing on side A came out, whilst the bearing from side B, slipped inside the hub body.
Here I discovered a shoulder inside the hub body situated behind the bearing on side A. (So no shoulder or retaining clip on side B.)
So I started knocking it this way and that to try and get the bearings off the axle and release the axle from the hub, even tried forcing it out with a clever system involving a skewer, but they won't budge off the axle, trapping them inside the hub body.
Has anyone seen this before?
