*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE *** This year, for a change, I've finally gotten around to giving my bicycle a thorough tuneup before I begin riding. I've decided that I would like to remove the idler pulleys (I think they're called jockey wheels) from the rear derailleur (Suntour VGT) so that I could clean and lubricate them. The lower pulley is simple; just remove the bolt and it drops right out. Does anyone know how to remove the upper pulley? This pulley is concentric with the derailleur tensioning spring and I'm afraid to start disassembling it without knowing how it should be done -- I can envision this tightly wound coil spring unravelling all over the place and, worse yet, not being able to reassemble it. If anyone has ever disassembled one of these (successfully, I might add!) I'd sure appreciate some advice. Thanks.
