Title: suntour sealed hub advice
Post by: kuwahero on January 11, 2009, 01:32 AM: am I right in thinking that the silver sealing part behind the cone on these hubs unscrews using a suntour freewheel tool.

A good pair of pliers would do the job though, just put cloth between to prevent scaring.

mine have always just unscrewed easily by hand, they are only covers and the locking nut holds them on

The silver part is just a cap marc. It just caps over the cone. If you are very careful you can prize the cap off. Then it's just a spanner to remove the cone.

Also marc, don't know how far your going with dismantleing your hub but i have just posted this how to in the tech stickie section. I put it together last summer but neglected to post it on here. Hope it can help you out.
