I was going to replace the bearings in my White Industries Mi6 rear hub.
I read the instructions on WI hub site and they don't seem to pertain to the Mi6.
There are some set screws that are supposed to be loosened, but I don't see any on my hub. I am thinking they might be underneath the disc rotor mount, but I have no idea how to remove it or if it even comes off. Other than that I see no where to take any thing apart.

Thanks

Discovered I could thread a 6mm bolt into the NDS axle and tried pulling on it, but nothing came apart.

There should be a small access hole in the disc rotor mount that is large enough for a 2mm allen wrench. You insert the allen wrench in that hole and then rotate the axle until the fixing collar's 3 grub screws line-up under the access hole. Loosen them a little, not a lot.

TG - Thanks for quick response.
That tiny hole is hard to spot especially with black hubs.

Thanks!

Now that I have it apart it seems only the NDS bearing in the hub needs replacing. Would it make sense to replace both bearings in the hub since I have the parts?
There are two more bearings in the freehub that seem to be ok.

Well now I can't get the bearing out. Tried hitting it pretty hard with a punch from the back but didn't budge.
I can go to Harbor Freight and buy a slide hammer puller for $60 or take it to the LBS.
Would get the slide hammer if I knew for sure it would work.
Why must it be so difficult?

Take it to the LBS.. if it's a good shop with real techs, not self-proclaimed mechanics.

While it frustrates me to not do it myself, probably best to do that.
Maybe I will learn from them how to do it next time.
