I have inherited a Dawes Wildcat of uncertain age and want to renew the bearings in the rear hub.
I have included (hopefully) a photo of the gears and need to learn how to disassemble this to be able to fit new bearings.
I have searched the Web for what might be a suitable tool, and visited local bike shops, but without success.
Can anyone offer advice? The gear changer is an Exage Trail (is that Shimano?) if that helps.
Many thanks
