Problem fitting freewheel to hub

(1/3) > >>

Jamroll:
So, finally got around to finnishing my 1st wheel build, fookin ages that took  :shocked:
Now I've got a 16t Shimano Freel wheel and I'm trying to fit on a bullseye hub, the freewheel is going onto the hub about halfway and then is getting very very stiff, I've tried a little WD40 to help the bugger along but its not getting any easier, really don't want to force it incase i damage the hub. The thread pattern appears the same  ??? Any thoughts  :-\
Cheers

Sounds like muck in the threads, try spraying wd on the hub and using a wirebrush to clean the thread and then wd and a toothbrush on the inside of the freewheel.  :daumenhoch:

Jamroll:
I'd be surprised if it were that, both free wheel & hubs are brand new out the box, anyho its raining and I've got nowt else to do so will crack on with that  :daumenhoch:

1mancity2:
You putting any anti sieze grease on?

Jamroll:
Slapped a little on, didn't want to cake it though...
