Hi,
How do you remove the fairey hubs from a SeriesIII :? I removed the small grub screw from the cap, but the think wouldn't budge :cry:
The wheel bearings have gone, (I think), in Lillie, and having no idea what they look like, or, what else might need replacing, I need to get this cap off!!
Is there a rebuilding kit available, with all the probable bits and bobs :?:
Cheers.

Undo the 6 bolts around the edge of the hub, these hold it to the axle. With a little gentle encouragement it should come off.

Tim,
I did this, until the nuts were hard up against the hub. There was a gap of about 6-7mm, and I could see behind the flange, but it was stuck there. Any further ideas :?: :?:
Cheers.

My freewheel hubs came off real easy, as explained above. Have you got a pic of the hub? Where are you If i'm passing I'll take a look.

Just occured to me, Lilly is a lightweight and has different hubs/ halfshafts to a normal series motor. I read somewhere that you have to have different halfshafts to fit freewheel huns to a lightweight so maybe the hubs are different.

HI
THE TRICK WITH FAIRY HUBS IS TO REMOVE THE GRUB SCREW THEN JACK THE WHEEL CLEAR OF THE FLOOR & TURN THE WHEEL TILL YOU CAN SEE INTO THE GRUB SCREW ORIFICE
YOU SHUOLD SEE WHAT LOOKS LIKE A NYLON WASHER BEHIND THE GRUB SCREW
TAKE A PAIR OF LONGNOSE PLIERS & LIFT THE EDGE OF THE WASHER & GRIP IT
THEN PUSH ON THE END OF THE OUTER HUB TO RELIVE THE SPRING TENSION ON IT THEN PULL ON THE WASHER CARFULLY!
YOU SHOULD THEN FIND THAT A LONG NYLON STRIP BEGINS TO APPEAR KEEP PULLING TILL IT COMES RIGHT OUT THEN SLIDE THE OUTER HUB OFF
THE REST OF THE STRIPDOWN IS SELF EXPLANITARY
