skyway cassette repair
stevepeanut:
I have took a few pictures to show the rear wheel hub. Heres a pic so the type can been seen.
I have managed to remove the big circlip and remove the rear sprocket.
This last pic shows the hub with the sprocket removed. If I spin the top part of the hub while pushing down into the wheel, it locks solid as it would when working correctly. If I spin it while pulling it away from the wheel it slips and jumps, this is whats happening when its being ridden. How do I strip the hub past this point? I can't see any thing else that screws or and more clips to remove. I tried to gently prise it off the wheel but it seems to be held in place, I don't want to try prising any harder unless this is the correct way to remove it.

i'm not familiar with that hub but it looks like a coaster to me, have you tried unscrewing it? see if it turns anti-clockwise to remove the drive and clutch.

Spinning anti clockwise is doing the same as when the bike freewheels, it just goes round forever clicking.

That's a cassette drive hub bro. Put a pic up of the other side of the hub. I'm not sure how these are put together but some are pressed in place over the bearings and ratchets, some feed though the hub centre and are secured on the opposite side :daumenhoch:

it should be possible to release the whole mechanism by loosening/removing the cone nut on the other side !
