Really useful thanks, I'm just about to do mine. I'm intrigued with the r/h thread lock ring for the brake plate, my parts books show that as being an oridnary hex nut.
Yes, l think the very early 7”TLS hubs have the circular threaded collar and all the later ones have the slim hex nut. Maybe cheaper to manufacture the slim hex nut than the threaded collar, plus you don’t need to make the peg tool. Regards Brian
@@TheGreyNomads-dr8jwThanks Brian, I've actually got a new old stock hub and thought it best to take the bearings out and re-grease after all these years before using it. I'm also looking forward to seeing what dust shields the bearings have, the old seperate metal ones or new one's integral with the bearing.
This video is extremely helpful! I would like to know how you made the tool for removing the bearing retainer. Are the pins that engage the retainer just the ends of small bolts?
Hi, The tool is just a piece of flat bar (50mm wide x 6mm thick) drilled to match the pattern of the the locknut, but any piece of scrap bar will do. I use M4 bolts as the pins because my plate has many hole patterns for different bikes, so you just move the bolts to match appropriate hole pattern.

Thanks for watching, l enjoy making them, hopefully my camera and editing skills will improve as l make more. Regards Brian
