Rebuild a bicycle rear hub

Step 10 More grease...

Once you have gotten one side of the shell ready, carefully place it onto the race for the freehub core, and hold it down as if it were spring-loaded. Place the preload shims for the freehub into place now, an be careful not to warp them. Liberally cram grease into the exposed0 side of the shell, and start pressing each bearing into place in the race.On occasion, be sure that the hub will freewheel properly. make sure that no bearing falls into a gap that can lock the hub from any rotation. Cram a liberal amount of grease to lube the ratchet mechanism and to act as a reserve as time goes by.

Once all bearings are in place, start screwing in the combination-cone. you may have to rotate the freehub shell CCW some to ensure that the bearings find their place. If after bottoming it on it's seat, the hub still freewheels properly, proceed to the next step. If anything otherwise, back up and start over again, locating what went wrong until you find the problem.

Once you are sure, tighten the combination cone to about 35 foot-pounds.

Again, the proper tool is recommended, but in this case i had little choice...Tighten firmly without allowing whatever tool you use to slip...
