Hi
I have a Shimano R500 rear wheel that appears to have dry grit instead
of ball bearings and grease in its hub, probably as a result of the
laughably useless "seals". Is it generally possible to remove an axle
from a Shimano rear hub with the cassette still in place? I don't have
the tools to remove one to hand but I do have the right cone spanners
and some grease. The Shimano serice instructions for it make it look
like it's possible but before I break my way to work I thought I'd
check.
Assuming it is possible, how much of a nightmare is it to get the
bearings out of and back into the freehub side?
Cheers,
Mark
