I've got a suntour coaster hub that I am wanting to strip down for some work and wondered if I can fully strip it in order to make this easier.
Any advice?
-
yes you can, just remember how it came apart, it can pretty much only go back together one way.....

Cheers for that :daumenhoch:
I have managed to get most of it stripped now and have drawn my own diagram on what goes where so I can put it back together but the brake lever is not going nowhere, is that normally the difficult bit?

That's well handy Snav, Dale they're a right bugger to put back together

Just remember to put the pads in the right way around

I take it you mean the brake 'arm' which attaches to the chain stay of the frame? If so then this sits over the inner cone of the hub like a spanner would. You just need to hold it to undo the outer lock nut non drive side & it should just come off of the inner cone/race assy. Few taps with a rubber mallet will shift it if it's stuck :daumenhoch:
