  1. how in the world do you take it apart??
    I got the bearings off, but the spacers go under the hub and seem
    extremely hard to get off. I need to replace the keyway in the hub. a
    section drawing would probably help a lot, or one completely taken
    apart.

  2. The "keyway" is not a component in the hub, its pretty much an intricate
    part of the shell. To "replace" they keyway you need a new hub.

  7. erm
    i found a phone # and called and they said that it is just wear and
    tear (yeah, bs... but whatever I tore the [censored] out of it so I can't
    argue that)

    if anyone has taken one apart, or a qu-ax hub
    i don't know if it is built like the profile hub.

    If your keyway is elongated, it's going to be SO much easier to buy a
    new hub. If you don't know what a keyway is, Your axle has one "spline"
    or raised ridge on it running the full length of the area that is
    inside the hub body. The hub body has a groove cut into it to fit the
    groove on the axle. The axle is pressed in there.
