Yeah it's one of those standard back-in-the-day 4pawl jobbies. The bearings did used to break a lot and i've ended up with about 5 of them but they are still good as far as design goes.

dude...:
its a 3 pawl driver, i remember now my mate got it from jejames
got the bearing race out in the end with a dremel, some pliers, and a hammer. new bearing in there and its good to go once more. 6802s  ::)

If I were you I would take a close good look at the bearing shoulder that the innermost driver bearing butts up against when the conenut is done up. Normally Joytech axles have a slight radius that gets deformed from the wheel being done up tight or worse, a blown inner driver bearing. If so, sell your mate on an Ody female axle, which has a nice square edge that's kinder to/more tolerant of inner driver bearing inner races

it should be ok for now, tbh i dunno if he will even ride it much anymore. going over to sydney in a week or so and as i still have his old bike at mine i figured id get it running so we could have a roll and so i could get it out of my shed.

the bearing race and shoulder looked fine when i had it apart, i know what you mean though, cos the aluminium tube spacers in the middle of odyssey hubs used to deform like that, and would cause bearings to die really quickly
