How to get track gear off hub?
I broke a spoke last night on my Surly hub and now have to remove the track gear to replace the spoke. It didn't come off with the chain whip, so I put it back in the drops and stood on the cranks, nothing, yes I did take the lock ring off. Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated. This is the second hub I have that I can't get a track gear off, okay the third, the first I can't budge because in my haste to just pop out the sealed bearings, I didn't realize I would need to have the axle to remove the gears. I now have a hub with no axle, no bearings. Bearings can't be replaced cause the cups didn't come out, can't save the spokes cause I can't get the gear off, so I'm stuck salvaging the rim and doing all over again. This is getting expensive.
