Hi,
I recently replaced the freewheel body on my rear 9spd Ultegra hub.
I'm having trouble adjusting it after cleaning everything and
replacing the ball bearings. When I disassembled it, I worked from the
drive side. I am trying to reassemble from that side, and I have found
that when I remove almost all of the play, there aren't enough threads
left on the axle for the fork. It also feels like there is way too
much drag.
In looking at a diagram of the hub from:

I'm wondering if the right hand seal ring (# 9 in the diagram) is not
causing the problem. Is this seal ring supposed to compress down into
the freehub body? There is a recessed area in the right hand cone
where I believe the seal ring is supposed to sit. However, when I
tighten down the cone, the seal ring gets squashed between the cone
and freehub body. I tired pushing the seal ring down into the freehub
body, but there is now too much drag and the cone isn't sitting down
far enough on the axle. Any ideas on what might be going on here?
Thanks,
Peter.
