I recently acquired an old '72 Schwinn Speedster that has the Sturmey Archer AW
3 speed hub. The bike was purchased in '72 with the intent that it was to be
used to ride the previous owners small child around the neihborhood...First time
out the mother toppled the bike with child and she never road it again...The
only activity it had was from one of their other kids, but was minimal.

I'm sure the hub hasn't been oiled in 38 years..the mechanism still works but is
sticky due to the probable varnish build up inside and I intend to get my feet
wet this weekend in hub stripping. There are numerous posts and websites that
offer information on stripping this hub, enough so, that my arrogance tells me I
can do it, however, there is no information that I can find on the subject of
cleaning the parts and what I should use nor how much oil should go back into
the hub.

Any help with this as well as any pointers in the rebuild would be greatly
appreciated.

Sorry about the misspelled title...don't know how to fix it.
