ok firstly, get yourself a couple of spanners and an allen key.

this is how you zytec mag should look before you start!




unscrew the spacer nut on one side of the axle, until completey off.



undo all four allen bolts as pictured.



then the hub should be loose at this point.



pull the axle through the one side, until completely removed.

both sides of metal casing should be off by now,




and you will be left with a hub free wheel, as pictured!






then you are just about ready to bleach/dye your aero zytec mags! Wink

I have just used your step by step guide and stripped down my zytec's. It was spot on, and made it easy for even a novice like me!
The wheels are now sitting in a bucket of bleech, thanks for putting the guide on the forum Very Happy

Would these be the legendary off white zytecs? O.k. you'll need...

28 bottles of thin bleach
8 bottles of thick bleach
a 10 oz' of peroxide
a couple nights in the dishwasher
and some thinking

eh David...? Laughing

Seriously though, let me know how you get on as I'm interested in the outcome. btw don't listen to me. Rolling Eyes

yeah, it is the off white zytecs. They are sitting in 10 litres of super strentgh trade bleech. I will post some photos if you like once they have been in there a few days. If they dont come out minty fresh I may dye them yellow.

I didnt have any batteries in my camera to take any before shots. I had a look at the wheels when I got home from work. They look a bit cleaner, but it may take a while. I might take them out and give them a scrub and put them back in.
