Removing a freehub body from a hub that is not spoked up onto a bike, possible?
Hi ,
I picked up a spare of the hub on my bike to use for parts should the need arise. The need has arisen and I now need to get the freehub off the spare and switch it with the one on the bike.
The problem that I did not foresee is that the spare hub is not spoked up onto a wheel as you would expect. It takes an awful lot of force to turn the hex wrench to remove the freehub body but with having no tyre or rim to hold against it feels near impossible.
I don't see any flat part on the hub that I could use to hold the hub in a vise grip. Mount a cassette and use a chain whip maybe ? Any ideas ? Just buy a new freehub ?
