    Anyone ever removed the bearings from a Fast Forward F4R rear wheel hub?

    Mine are a bit noisey and I want to remove the bearings and apply a bit of grease.

    I can remove the cassette, but I'm not sure how to remove the freewheel. Any advise?

    Cheers

    Fairly straight forward procedure to remove the freehub,just two lock nuts.

    I was sent the document below when I asked them about freehub removal.
    Hope it helps.:)

    those bearings are finished, adding grease wont do anything, best to replace the cartridges themselves.

    I'm sure your rights, but a bit of grease won't do any harm either :).
