Rear hub large hubshell bearing and RingDrive disassembly
R45 tool setup for rear large hubshell bearing and RingDrive disassembly
Slide drive shell bushing onto T-handle with wide side facing T-handle. Slide large split ring
onto threaded portion of extension shaft with laser side facing knurled end of extension
shaft. Then slide cone onto extension shaft with narrow end facing split ring.
Thread extension shaft onto T-
handle until assembly is snug, but
split ring is not expanded.
Insert T-handle assembly into non-
driveside of rear hubshell.
Turn extension shaft clockwise
until tight to fully expand large split
ring inside of hub. Ensure that split
ring expands between the spring
retainer and the narrow part of the
hub body.
The driveshell bushing tool slides
into the hub body in place of the
non-driveside bearing that has
already been removed.
After ensuring that large split ring
is expanded against the spring
retainer, thread on knurled ring with
the laser marked side facing away
from the hub. Tighten knurled ring
until it sits tightly against large hub
bearing.
Using a mallet or hammer, tap strike plate on T-handle to remove large hubshell
bearing, inner seal, driven ring, drive ring, spring and spring retainer.
TECH NOTE: Large hubshell bearing can only be removed along with the entire
RingDrive assembly. An attempt to only remove the large
hubshell bearing will likely result in the damage to large
hubshell bearing and hub service tool.
