Front Hub Bearing Removal
F r o n t H u b B e a r i n g R e m o v a l
The procedure for front hub bearing removal is the same for disc brake 76D, 77D, and rim brake 76, and 77 hubs. The 77D disc brake and 77 rim
brake hubs are pictured.
N OT I C E
To prevent damage to the hub surfaces, do not use Acetone or similar products to clean parts.
Clamp the aluminum vise blocks into a vise. Clamp the small diameter
of the end cap into the vise blocks and pull up on the hub to remove
the end cap. Repeat on the other side to remove the other end cap.
Alternate method:
To remove quick release end caps, insert a quick
release skewer into one side of the hub and use the skewer to push
the opposite end cap off the hub. Repeat to remove the other end cap.
Use a plastic mallet to gently tap the exposed axle end on the non-
drive side of the hub to dislodge the drive side bearing.
Remove the axle and drive side bearing from the hub shell.
