Effing hub problem

[Frosty]

I bought these knowing there may be an issue with getting the cluster off!!



Having spent the best of a day trying to release the fugger I'm now worse off as I have dropped the hub and managed to get some damage on the (what was) perfect blue anno

It's been in mole grips, a vice with cloth and rubber securing and using a long torque wrench the thing still wont move.

Anyone got any tips before I end up having to take an angle grinder to it??

Cheers

can you not do a part build to get a rim back on and then
go to a bike shop they will shift it off, no probs
for a couple of quid tops

its def easier with a rim to twist against than just a hub

which look pretty sweet by the way

Ordinarily I would have done just that, the problem with the bullseyes is that they are a 3 piece hub, so the chances are that I'll end up just spinning off the none drive side flange

undo the bearing case of the freewheel and take all
the cogs off that may be a easier option
then use a hacksaw on the rest to loosen it

If, to do that I need to knock round an inner ring, then I have tried that but with no luck again. It is an old suntour 7 speed cluster.

Really annoying because they are great hubs and I have already manked up the rear a bit
