How to remove axle and bearings from a B'TWIN Triban Aero wheel I have a B'TWIN Triban Aero rear wheel and am trying to replace the sealed bearings. After removing the end caps and a DS rubber seal I can see the ends of the bearings, at this point I assumed that the axle could be removed by tapping with a hammer, however with a reasonable amount of force it didn't move. Do I just need to be more aggressive or is there a further step before the axle and bearings can be removed from the hub?


The assembled hub.


The DS with the bearing seated within the freehub.


NDS bearing and axle.
I can't say 100%, but this looks like the sort of hub where you just need to smack the ends of the axle sufficiently hard to drive the bearings out. Make sure you're bracing the wheel by holding the hub and not the rim.
