Quirien,

Diamond Dawg and I recently did this job on his 24*7 exposed ST - the
adjuster hub had corroded and seized in the swinging arm.

Overview:
- - rear wheel removal
- - rear brake removal
- - axle shaft removal
- - hub removal

Parts required:
- - penetrating oil
- - cleaning materials (e.g. paraffin/kerosene, but NOT petrol)
- - scrapers and wire brushes to get rid of corrosion
- - grease (for the axle bearings)
- - rear axle stake nut (the one without crenellations). You may be able to
re-use the old one if the old stake doesn't coincide with the slot when you
tighten it.

Special tools required:
- - Torque wrench to 150 N m
- - Human helper

Have fun!

Regards,
