Coaster brake overhaul.

[Phil Zone]

I have been given different advice on lubrication when overhauling a coaster brake. Any thought on these viewpoints:

Lube the bearings only. OR

Lube all parts including brake pads.

Definitely lube everything. On most coaster brake hubs you can lube the shoes with the same grease you use on the bearings. Some hubs like New Departure require grease for the bearings and oil (like 30W motor oil) for the brake discs.

Right on, thanks.
