AVM hubs are leaking. I know gasket sets are now obsolete and I will have too make my own.
Question is do I undo the small "allen keys" on the locking knob or the larger bolts on the hub to renew.
Will anything fall out if I'm not careful

there's nothing in those hubs to leak - if they are weeping it's the drive shaft seal that's gone

just undo the 6 bolts and pull off the flange complete with the FWH

Cheers Sean very helpful. When I have done the clutch master cylinder that's the next job.

I fitted a pair of Selectro hubs to my IIA about 8 years ago, but as I remember, the small allen bolts need to be removed from the freewheel hubs first and the rotary switch removed in order to unbolt the halfshaft from the freewheel hub. I also recall that the freewheel does contain oil shared with the hub bearings and swivel housing. I don't think you need to worry too much about stripping it down. There are bits to fall out, and they are a bit fiddly to put back together but they're not desperately complicated.

Thanks Fenby much appreciated advice. When the snow has gone will try to replace without getting a frozen butt.
