I have a freehub that I'm trying to identify. It's about 10 years old and came from an Edinburgh Cycle CoOp bike (one of their own 'Revolution' branded bikes). Also, the bearings are a tiny bit rough on the drive side, so I am trying to remove the freehub body in the hope of finding a replacement. But it won't budge! It's a 12mm hex drive inside the freehub body, and I've been leaning on a 24 inch breaker bar, but it won't move. Do some manufacturers install freehub bodies with high strength thread lock so that they can never be disassembled? I don't want to break the hub, my tooling, or my fingers! Maybe I should give up now, and just ride it with slightly rough bearings until it's so rough the hub needs replacing!
