Next Question! 500 Sprocket Carrier

(1/9) > >>

philward:
I'm trying to take the sprocket carrier out of the hub but its stuck fast. I've put the old sprocket on the carrier and tried to drift it out by using a bar through the spokes (not removed the old spokes/rim so I have a more stable platform to hold onto while trying to get carrier out). Bearing and holder removed already.
Am I missing something as it is struck fast - its not flexing as if its just stuck on the cush drive rubbers.

Bryanj:
You have unscrewed the LH thread retainer havent you?

philward:
Yep, thats out Bryan. Its solid with no 'bounce' if it was stuck on the rubber cush drive - its a metalic feeling through the bar as I shock the sprocket.

Bryanj:
They can get incredibly stuck on the rubbers and also on the big O ring thats D shaped, dont damage that one i have run out of NOS ones

Erny:
I did not disassembly mine, but I've read that a lot of heat (propane) helps. There are also some videos on YT too I was told.
I tired, but gave up as it was not absolutely necessary
