The stock 27.5 rear wheel on my 2017 Expert Levo FSR has developed some play, I believe it uses DT Swiss internals, I recently replaced the bearings in the DT Swiss XD Freehub which were totally shot but there still remains some play, so I think the next step must be the wheel bearings.
To get to the wheel bearings, I believe you have to remove the DT Swiss 'ratchet ring' on the drive side of the hub. This requires a rather expensive specific tool - but there appear to be a host of China-based ebay sellers selling a compatible tool for around £11. Except the one I ordered didn't fit. (to be fair, they refunded immediately and didn't ask for the item to be returned). Reading reviews, I see this 'did not fit' scenario isn't unusual.
So my question is - does anyone have a link to a reasonably priced version of this tool that fits and works?
