   I've been working on removing the freehub from Old Yeller since Sunday. Removing the cassette was a piece of cake. The fun, if you call many trips to the hardware store and Amazon shopping fun, was hunting the correct size hex wrench. I first bought a set of hex wrenches that went up to 10 mm since most of what I've read said 10mm is pretty standard. Well 10mm is too small. The local stores (Lowes, Home Depot, AutoZone, etc...) don't carry anything larger than 10mm. I hopped on Amazon thinking 12mm would do it. For good measure I bought a kit that went up to 14mm. They arrived today. The one size it didn't have was an 11mm. I think that is what I need to get the old freehub removed. Then I need to determine if any of the freehubs I've ordered are the correct one. Ugh.
   
   I've changed my line of thinking with repairs. I want to handle them instead of taking the bike to the LBS. Once I learn my part numbers I'll be able to take care of repairs quicker. I came close to just buying a new bike but that is not who I am. I will ride this bike until the frame snaps in two.
   
   Ride on. ☮
   
   PS. Anyone need some hex wrenches? LOL.
