Fairey freewheeling hubs?

[Ollie]

Hi,
How do you remove the fairey hubs from a SeriesIII :? I removed the small grub screw from the cap, but the think wouldn't budge
The wheel bearings have gone, (I think), in Lillie, and having no idea what they look like, or, what else might need replacing, I need to get this cap off!!

Is there a rebuilding kit available, with all the probable bits and bobs :?:

Cheers.
Ollie

Undo the 6 bolts around the edge of the hub, these hold it to the axle.  With a little gentle encouragement it should come off.

Tim,
I did this, until the nuts were hard up against the hub. There was a gap of about 6-7mm, and I could see behind the flange, but it was stuck there. Any further ideas :?:  :?:

Cheers.

My freewheel hubs came off real easy, as explained above.  Have you got a pic of the hub?  Where are you If i'm passing I'll take a look.

Just occured to me, Lilly is a lightweight and has different hubs/ halfshafts to a normal series motor.   I read somewhere that you have to have different halfshafts to fit freewheel huns to a lightweight so maybe the hubs are different.

HI
THE TRICK WITH FAIRY HUBS IS TO REMOVE THE GRUB SCREW THEN JACK THE WHEEL CLEAR OF THE FLOOR & TURN THE WHEEL TILL YOU CAN SEE INTO THE GRUB SCREW ORIFICE
YOU SHUOLD SEE WHAT LOOKS LIKE A NYLON WASHER BEHIND THE GRUB SCREW
TAKE A PAIR OF LONGNOSE PLIERS & LIFT THE EDGE OF THE WASHER & GRIP IT
THEN PUSH ON THE END OF THE OUTER HUB TO RELIVE THE SPRING TENSION ON IT THEN PULL ON THE WASHER CARFULLY!
YOU SHOULD THEN FIND THAT A LONG NYLON STRIP BEGINS TO APPEAR KEEP PULLING TILL IT COMES RIGHT OUT THEN SLIDE THE OUTER HUB OFF
THE REST OF THE STRIPDOWN IS SELF EXPLANITARY
