Mounting / removing a wheel with a Nexus 3
•
Step one: Find the aluminium part with a
window, let's call it the bell crank. It contains a
lever, which is pulled or pushed by a cable, that
pulls and pushes a metal rod called a push rod.
This rod moves the gear wheels without the
body of the hub. So you need to remove the
bell crank.
•
To do this, find the black nut, which can be
seen on the right in the photo, and unscrew
it with a 10mm spanner. Loosen it, but do not
completely unscrew it.
•
The bell should then be released.
•
Pull on the bell with your hand. It should come
away easily.
•
Be careful not to remove any cables or cable
