Therefore, conduct assembly again.
6. Make sure the automatic free wheeling hub cap has an O-ring correctly installed, and assemble this cap firmly to the free wheeling hub body using
an oil filter wrench, etc. (The cap should not be able to be loosened by hand.)
NOTE: While the automatic free wheeling hub cap is removed, strict care should be taken that foreign matters, such as dust, mud, etc., do not get
into the free wheeling hub interior.
