Driver Body Installation
D r i v e r B o d y I n s t a l l a t i o n
The procedure for driver body installation is the same for disc brake 176D, 177D, and rim brake 176, and 177 hubs. The 177D disc brake hub is pictured.
Zipp recommends replacing the entire driver body assembly if the bearings are worn or any part is damaged. For part numbers, please refer to the
in the Support section of www.zipp.com.
Install the seal, with the groove on the seal facing away from the driver
body, midway over the pawls, so that they stay compressed.
Slide the driver body assembly, ratchet side first, into the drive side of
the hub shell.
Use a cable tie to push the rubber driver body seal into the groove in
the drive side of the hub shell.
NOTICE
Do not scratch the hub shell. Ensure the seal is seated in the groove.
Improperly installed seals may result in contaminated hub internals
and hub drag.
If the seal is not installed correctly the freehub body cannot spin freely.
