Freewheel removal in cup and cone hub

[SelfResetInput]

Hey there,

First of all thanks, for all the efforts and knowledge sharing that you have been doing with all YouTube videos. So far you are the best explaining that I found with enough detail.

I am writing to try to clarify how to disassembly the freewheel in a hub with cone cups,
The only information that I could find is using a 10 mm Allen key but seems not my case
Is there any article explaining all the types?

Attached some pictures (I already cleaned all the grease, so don't worry about that )

A little bit more information: I am rebuilding/restoring a 2000s road bike (bh gavia) and originally came with a Shimano Sora groupset

Hello and welcome to the BikeGremlin forum.

For the Sora hub, you will probably need a 10 mm hex (allen) key.
The thread for mounting the freehub to the hub body should be normal, right-handed thread.

Edit:
Shimano usually marks hub model on their hubs. So, if in doubt and you need to buy tools, it's probably a good idea to Google the service manual for your hub model, since Shimano lists the needed tools (including the needed hex key size). An example:
https://si.shimano.com/en/pdfs/dm/HB0001/DM-HB0001-06-ENG.pdf

Note:
Depending on the hub manufacturer and model, the freehub is most often removed by a 10, 11, 12, 14, or 15 mm hex key.

To dissasemble the freehub mechanism, you'll need a special tool that I don't know where to buy (that thread is "counter," left-handed). My video on that:

I guess that this one is the same one

TB-1018-Super B | Super B Bike Tools | Home Page

Features freewheel body disassembly for maintenance. For most of Shimano® hubs. Use with a 24 mm wrench or 1/2

Anyhow, yours is unique for sure!

I will check if I can see the slots in the hub for the tool.

Thanks!

It is necessary to remove the anther rubber ring... There will be slots for the tool under it.
