freeshot74 Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 I have an old Echo rear hub and I was wondering if anyone knows how the mount is on the gear? Threaded? Splines? Maybe someone also knows how to remove the gear. /Tomas from Sweden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoofty Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 Looks like standard threaded on. Those are never easy to unscrew. I usually have to cut the teeth so you can use proper tools on it. I haven't found a chainwip that is strong enough and the 'bit of chain in a vice' technique never worked for me. You can try a heat gun to loosen it as well, but be careful with too much heat as that can damage the hub. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
