Problem
Worn rear-wheel bearings.
Put in two wheel bolts and use a metal rod stuck into the ground to keep the brake disc steady when you remove the two screws.

Replacing the hub
- Remove the wheel.
- Remove the two screws in the brake disc.
- Remove the brake caliper (careful with the brake pipe).
- Remove the brake disc.
-
Put on rust remover, and remove the 5 screws in the hub. Make sure you have the Allen key 100%
inserted, and twist slowly until the screws get loose (sometimes with a bang and spark splash!).
-
Put something soft underneath which the hub can land on and knock it gently out with a hammer.

It can be smart to have a new spare brake pipe.
The hub screws might be difficult to get out. You can warm them up and use a sturdy pair of pliers to get them loose when they have cooled again.
