Haha! Here we go! I'm going to start calling you El Sage. I was thinking about flipping the freewheel cog and while fiddling around with it, I accidentally pulled out the paw mechanism and for the life of me, I could not get it back in. Started hammering the axle and I popped out the other side BBs. 🤣🤣🤣Then I got caught in that damn loop of knocking out the other side. So I went to the internet and "boom goes the dynamite!", there you were. Well, the trick of using a flat head screwdriver on the individual paws worked like a charm and put it back together without fooking anything up. I was getting worried with all the pieces that I would definitely mess it up but because of your guidance all problems were solved. Appreciate you, Bro.

Haha hell yea!! I love hearing that this was able to help you. Crazy how one tiny little tip can make something significantly easier isn’t it?

Any ball bearing is not inserted by putting in on its shaft and hammering the daylight out of it, Those small balls were indented in the hammering action and the inner and outer race were surely damaged.

Awesome tutorial once again! This is gonna be the gold standard go-to video for my hub refreshes

I just did the profile mini hub on a bmx I just got, all kinds of thick green grease in there, to the point some of the pawls would stick in the shut position, cleaned out now with zero grease I don't even bother to drop thin oil on the pawl base, totally dry works best every time.

I agree fully and don't usually put anything in there at all either!

Thanks for the tips 🤘

One of the best videos great job and perfect for people like my self who are just learning.. if you don't mind me asking I have something very similar to this but the last person put it on to tight and I have tried everything

This one reminds me of the old string around your profile pawls to close em and drop the driver in😂

Is there not a bearing press you can get for this? The hammer makes me feel uneasy 😅

Friend, where did you buy the cones for the rear bolt block, greetings from Ecuador

How would one replace the cassette bearing?

Is there any way to change the drive chainring and change the sizes for profile elite hubs

When you order them you can choose the driver styles. They have the shimano driver which is pretty much the standard so you can charge the cogs.

You didn’t show how much pressure goes into the male hub threaded nut. You know, the nut on the outside of the freewheel. Does that just get snugged? Is there a torque spec?

Never push bearings in using the inner race. This will destroy the bearing. Only push the outer race.

Sow nice ❤❤

No gease on that front hub? Question answered in video, thank you

My springs are to short to reach the paws what do i do

I would take pictures and send them to the company who makes the hub. It’s hard to give any help without being able to see it

searched for this video because im thinking of picking up a Kink bmx from someone who says its skipping. do u suggest i take the chance i just have to clean it or could there be bigger issues? thanks for teaching! the outtakes made me laugh.

Could be as simple as someone putting alot of grease on the driver hub creating the engagement to slip , however in my experience It's a good guess that the c shaped retainer that holds the paws inplace on driver has lost its metal memory ( has worn out. ) and over time opened up the end to end gap. some people call it a driver spring or paw spring. ( creating a larger gap than originally.) when it does this it doesn't let the paws all rest engaged it lets 2 of the 3 or 3 of the 4 paws to have ok engagement but once it gets to the paw that's not properly set in engagement position it cause's it to not engage to the hub properly and a tooth skipping can be fealt /heard while aggressively pedaling or pedaling up inclines. Best of luck n your new bike if you decide to get it. Should be a easy fix. I've made new clips out of guitar string in a bind. But your local bike shop should have a new paw retaining spring clip for most common drivers. If they have em and cheap I'd throw in new paws aswell.

I hope your okay that axel to the forehead was'nt easy.

Thank you!! It wasn't too bad. Enough that I forgot about it very shortly after it happened

26:27 profile europe use Loctite on The Jam nuts on the profile, Mini male axle to stop them coming loose but I use to blow the bearings out all the time and get wobbly wheels from grinding ledges 👍🚲💨

You say 99% of front hubs are like that, but I feel like there are a lot more unsealed front hubs out there than sealed. Maybe like 15% I’ve seen are sealed and I’ve looked

If its an actual bmx that's meant to be used in the park or street then they won't have unsealed bearings as they'll just break super quickly.
