NC35 rear hub disassembly
Apart from the sprocket carrier probably being an utter bastard to get off, is there anything else I should know? I have impact sockets the right size for both the wheel and sprocket carrier nuts (at least, if I measured right, I got 36 and 46mm). Rattle gun goes up to 400NM, torque wrench has 205 in the range. Have an ABBA stand. Have the realisation that I may simply find I cannot get the thing off, but I'd prefer to try before paying someone a fortune to do it.
Is the circlip going to require anything out of the ordinary? ie will a 'normal' pair of circlip pliers reach it properly and be man enough for the job? Nothing trick or anything like that?
Rear nuts are scabby and I note the sprocket nuts and brake disc nuts are the same. Was pondering about Ti bit to replace them with. Is there any reason why Ti should be avoided on high loaded stuff like this on a road bike?

Re: NC35 rear hub disassembly
When i did mine the rear hub nut had been over tightened by a previous owner. Even with the bike in gear it was turning the engine over and turning the back wheel against the floor. In the end i had to use an old fork leg over my breaker bar, wedge the front tyre against a wall with the brake cable tied on and load the rear of the bike with around about 50kg to give the back wheel enough resistance to undo it.
The circlip is a pita but can be done with just a flat screwdriver or two if necessary, and lever it out (refitting is fun as well). I don't think my 'ordinary' size circlip pliers were any good for it on their own but i think i used them to get enough of a gap to get the screwdriver in.

high strenth rattle gun will get it off without moving the wheel at all..gavins wrote:When i did mine the rear hub nut had been over tightened by a previous owner.

big circlip plier or impravise.. my pliers have changable heads, i think the 2.5mm forks did it. done them with screwdrivers in the past when no tools avaible

Re: NC35 rear hub disassembly
I don't really like the idea of the interchanging heads. It might save a few quid on handles, but to me they just seem like an extra weakness to fail right at the worst moment!

Not if you buy good pliers, i have two sets ( an in and out opening handle).. the heads are huge and are held in with allen bolts.speedy231278 wrote:I don't really like the idea of the interchanging heads.

The handles were about 30 quid each i think and the tips range between 8 - 15 a set depending on if they are bent or straight, but they will handle pretty much everything.
only used one of thoese cheap pressed steel multi things once and they didnt feel like they were upto much

Re: NC35 rear hub disassembly
Never did finish this thread. Got some 13" circlip pliers from ebay. Hub nut came off fine. Sprocket carrier came off fine. Hub took a little persuading due to the amount of road grot that had found a way in, but was fine. Everything came apart great and went back together great. I was almost in shock! lol
