Differentials
To detach diff. body for change of sprockets etc., unscrew the offside outer cup and lockring and pull shaft out. In the case of multi freewheel it may be necessary to withdraw the nearshaft similarly. The diff. body has flats (1.450") for actual removal of cogs etc.
When replacing shafts hold the inner end of the cone protruding through the inner cup with a cone spanner and rotate the shaft until the slot in the back of the cone is engaged on the flats on the shaft. The adjustment of the inner cups and lock rings need not necessarily be disturbed. The diff. unit should be located so that no endplay exists*, whilst avoiding any end pressure being applied to the diff. unit by the axle shafts. All housings are righthand thread. (On Higgins owd axles, very occasionally l/h thread was used, i.e. fixed cup fitted).
The detachment of freewheel from the diff. body requires special tools, and these cannot be made at an economic price for resale. A service is available for this job at £7.50 plus return postage. Whilst every care is taken we cannot accept responsibility for any damage to freewheels.
It is recommended that freewheels that require splined removal tools are fitted to differentials to enable easier removal.
* (This applies in particular to earlier models with tapered hexagon engagement).
Hub Brakes
On re-assembly make sure that the cover plate is properly engaged on the fulcrum bush. To centralise the shoes tighten the pivot bolt nut while brake is held "ON". If in doubt, write to Chris Hewitt Cycles.
Hub brake re-lining service available - details on request.November 2011
