Sun Tour 7-speed freehub removal/replacement
How is the Sun Tour 7-speed freehub attached to the hub? The 10mm hex wrench used to remove a Shimano freehub just slides completely though the Sun Tour free hub, so a completely different means of attachment must be used.

Don't see many of these SunTour cassetted hubs... Could it be that you need a larger hex wrench? Andy

Thanks!
Thanks, guys. I'll look for an 11mm hex wrench.
