Post by Scott RoehrbornLooking for some help on how to dis-assemble a Mavic Ksyrium Elite
front hub. Bearings need replacing and I can't figure out how to get
it apart.
Thanks!
Scott
The difficult part for me was to realize I needed to just pull off the
end cap (similar to the lock nut on loose bearing hubs). Mavic calls
it a "fork support" which I didn't understand at first.

Tools needed
1 x 5 mm Allen wrench
1 hub wrench M40123
Bearing pullers M40373
1. Remove the fork support on the adjustment nut side. This is press
fit on the end of the axle;
2. Insert a 5 mm Allen wrench on the opposite side of the adjustment
nut and loosen the adjustment nut;
3. Remove the axle;
4. Drive out the bearings with the bearing pullers M40373;
5. Mount the new bearings using the bearing pullers M40373;
6. Mount the axle: insert the 5 mm Allen wrench in the axle and
tighten the adjustment nut;
7. Clip the fork support back on;
8. Put the wheel back in place on the fork, tighten the quick release
skewer and adjust the bearing free play using the hub wrench M40123.
