Kung Ten W5ER hub removal
I've service hubs before but this is a new one for me. It's a 1999 Trek 830 AL with a Kung Ten W5ER hub. There's a place for a cone wrench only on one side. How do I get this thing off?
It was clicking loud. Tried dribbling in some warmed up thicker oil. It helped but not enough.

Is there a 5mm hex socket inside the non drive side axle end? If there is, that's your ticket. If not, it might just pull off. Might take a pretty good grip.

Possibly. Don't know that particular hub, but some cartridge bearing hubs have an end cap that just pulls off. Like I said, this often requires a firm grip and a good pull.

I took the model off of the specs for the bike but this is it. Thanks!!! Found the manual online saying exactly how to disassemble!
