After reading every thread I could find here on hubs I decided to tear mine down to clean out 50+ years of neglect. I found a mtn bike on trash day that will be donating spokes to my wheel build.
I was carefully disassembling the hub, laying out the parts in oder. Then cleaning them one at a time and returning them to reassemble order. Of course I knock the towel of parts on the ground.
Fortunately, I thought ahead and took a few pics along the way. :wink:
The only part I was concerned about was the "stack":
There were 12 of (washer?) #1 and 11 of the #2 (clutch?). So I figured the sequence would start & end with the #1 pcs? Please advise if I'm incorrect.
I do have two questions:
What/were do I look for signs of wear?
When I reassemble do I greese the bearings and add motor oil to the hub cavity? I believe I read that is why there is a "port" on the hub case?
Thanks for the help
