Removing freewheel house on Shimano hub

I want to use this hub for a fixed wheel but the freewheel house throws the chainline way out. Is it possible to remove the free wheel and replace with spacers?

Thanks K but this is what I have got from VeloSolo.
The spacers shown in the graphic are on the free wheel
The fixed chainline is 52 mm. Mine is 41 mm.
rear dropout is 132.5 mm.
I was hoping to remove the freewheel house (item 18) in attached graphic,
and add some spacers but VeloSolo say it is not possible and I need to
increase the front chainline by approx 12mm by moving the chainring or using a different BB or chainset.

google 'surly fixxer'.

google 'surly fixxer'.

Don't think that will help the chainline.

Also, it costs about the same as a hub and wheelbuild.

If you look for the Fixxer, the instructions tell you how to remove the freewheel. You just need a spanner....follow the instructions but just don't put the fixxer on

Missed this first time round. To remove the freewheel you need a big fuck off Allen key. About 12mm I think. It'll slot into '16' from your graphic.

Schweeet!! I'm taking an almost identical hub apart this evening and I couldn't see how to get the free wheel house off, due the four hundredweight of manky grease inside it. Thanks.

I was planning to just clean the hub up, re-grease, reassemble, whack on a few spacers and run it as a single speed.

But out of curiosity, if I wanted to rebuild the wheel as fixed, what would you replace the freewheel house with, or would you just jam the freewheel up somehow?

TIG it

Awww feck! I only haz MIG.
