Disassembling Campagnolo Type Cassette?
Hello, can someone explain to me how to disassemble a campagnolo type cassette? I have the cassette out of the wheel but I cant figure out how to get the rings off. I bought the campagnolo tool that goes on the side but I just cant figure out how to get the things loose. Also now that I have the thing open should I replace the teeth that hold the cassette (makes the clicks)? Bike has about 20.000kms
-Thanks

Hello fabriciom,
It seems that you've started off improperly. If you want to service (clean or replace) cassette cogs, the freehub portion of the assembly stays with the hub. You need to use chain whip in conjunction with the torque adapter for removing the cassette lock ring. Once you remove the lock ring the cogs will slide off of the freehub assembly.
I would suggest taking the wheel to a bike shop with a qualified mechanic. Perhaps they will show you what to do in the future.

Sounds as though you've removed the cassette body AND cassette at the same time.

I got it all off and cleaned it up. What I found is that the bike has everything Campagnolo except the cassette which is brandless and the chain which is shimano. I played around with the rear derailleur but could not get it to shift perfectly (makes alot of noise on certain levels). I'm guessing there is something to do with that the chain is shimano and the cassette which is not campagnolo. am I right or am I missing something?

It may be a Campagnolo cassette. They don't put their name on the cogs as far as I know, but you can tell by the code numbers on the cogs. I would think the Shimano chain would work fairly well as long as it's made for the same # of cogs. 10 speed chain for 10 cogs , 9 speed chain for 9 cogs etc...
