Vision team 35 rear wheel axle
Hi, I have Vision team 35 wheels and need to replace the sealed bearings. The problem I have is the axle tightening cup is stuck on the drive side. I can remove the non drive side cup using a 5mm Allen key but not the drive side. This must be removed to access the bearings. The free hub is the screw on type so the axle has to come out to remove the free hub using a 12mm Allen key. Does anyone have a way to get this drive side cup off.
Hope you can help.

Yes, you need a huge allen key which goes in from the non drive side and the freehub comes out pretty easily (as it appears you've found out). There's a special Vision tool which is a split collared tube that you put in from the NDS and tap the bearing out, but I got mine out some other way that I can't quite remember. I think once you've removed the NDS bearing, you can get a bit of rod or a drift through onto the DS bearing and tap it out from the far side?
Your best bet is to replace the standard axial bearings with angular contact bearings since they last much longer and as far as I can remember there's no preload adjustment on these hubs, which means the standard axial bearings wear quickly.
The technical drawing maybe of some help:
If you remove the NDS cap you can then insert an 8mm (I think) allen key from that side which will hold the axle allowing you to remove the DS cup. Hope this helps.
Thanks paul_the_pedaller I will try that.
