    Default Hub replacement

    How do I get the cap off to get to the 29mm nut that holds the nut on?

    Screwdriver worked for me. You have to work it slow, try and start it from multiple locations to get it off without destroying it.

    The instructions I had said to just buy new caps, because you will destroy them getting them off. I did and I did.
