How to Overhaul the bike hubs ?
Well-functioning hubs are critical for smooth spinning wheels and a comfortable ride. To keep your hubs in the best possible shape, plan on overhauling the hubs at least once a year. If you're lucky enough to have sealed-bearing hubs you're off the hook; most of these will last many years without any service. If you have cup and cone hubs, follow these steps:
1. If you have a quick-release skewer, remove it from the wheel. If there are nuts on the hub remove them with a wrench, alternating side to side as you loosen.
2. Using a cone wrench and a second standard wrench, make sure the cone and locknut are tight against each other on one side of the hub.
3. On the other side of the hub, using a cone wrench, secure the cone in place while you loosen the locknut in a counterclockwise direction on the same side of the hub.It will usually require some force to initiate movement in the locknut. If you're working on a hub with a freewheel, remove the freewheel. If you have a cassette hub, work on the side opposite the cassette.
4. Remove the locknut, washers, and cone from the axle, keeping them in order as you remove them.
5. Hold a towel or cup under the hub as you pull out the axle, because some bearings may fall out. Leave the cone, washers, and locknut in place on the other side of the axle. This will make reassembly easier.
6. Using a screwdriver, remove the bearings from both sides of the hub. A magnetic screwdriver makes bearing retrieval easier, although a screwdriver tipped with grease will work. Another trick is to push them down through the center of the hub and out the other side.Count the bearings in the hub. Some hubs are designed for ten bearings in the front and nine in the back. Because you'll probably want to replace the bearings with new ones (they're cheap), you'll want to know how many to purchase (and how many to use for reassembly).
7. After the bearings are removed, wipe the inside of the hub shell with a cloth and then use a degreaser to clean the cups. Examine the cups for wear. If they have dents in the surface, you may need to replace the entire hub.
8. Clean the axle, nuts, and cones by removing dirt and grime from the threads. Examine them for signs of wear and tear. If you roll the axle across a flat surface and it wobbles, it may be bent and need replacing.
9. Wipe down the dust seals with a cloth. If they're especially dirty, you can pop them off using a screwdriver for leverage.
10. After cleaning all parts, allow them to dry thoroughly before reassembly.
