Hello thought I would strip the front hub/brake today just to get a better idea of how it works. Went o.k. except for one little point in that I could not remove the balls and race from the small side of the hub as it seems to be held in by a circlip/retaining circle of metal. It is my thought that perhaps pressure from the other side would remove the ring but a few tentative prods did not budge it and as I do not really need to get the race out to grease the bearing then I think it is best left in situ. I know that there is a port to oil the bearing but I would prefer to use plenty of grease in the rebuild. I may just look at a few drawings of the rear wheel hub which has a brake and gearing before I take my tools to strip it unless of course you tell me it is easy peasy?. Cheers
