Removing a Freehub

[Tootyred]

And doing it up again?

I just use 4 old spokes and jam them in a vice.

Exactly that, as Jim says. I was beginning to think I must be missing something with the convoluted suggestions, but it really is as simple as that.

build it into a wheel first

that was my first thought, then my second thought was not to post it

I consider myself corrected. Thanks to the optical challanged James.

Thank you all for the input. Given I don't have a bench vice available, I will try with a cassette and chain whip. If I can do that successfully over the weekend I may have time to go to the powdercoaters on Monday!

Although I am sure it would be great for my wheelbuilding technique to build it into a wheel to remove the freehub that might not e the most time-efficient option, especially with then having to disassemble it immediately afterwards.

Now, if you take a right hand glove and turn it inside out ...

You get a left sock? I'm going to bed early tonight. Can't think about abstract concepts properly at the moment.

Oh I get it now! It's not like removing a freewheel.
