Thank man! I think I need to go bookstore to find book to get my words right. Any suggest books?
That park tool site has all kinds of online repair manuals that'll list the tools you need to do the job. Between that and Sheldon Brown's website pretty much all ya need for free.
Thank you guys. I read the article that said most of time seized gears are caused dirt that jammed them and suggested to washing with solvent might will do trick but I wondering wouldn't it also wash grease out too. Wd-40 sound better. Most of my gears sat in the leaves outside for many years might need overhaul.
Those old freewheels can be a beotch to rebuild, lots of bearings inside. Better to try flushing it first, let it dry, then maybe some spray in some grease.
