Saturday morning update....went and got some marine grease at WM, big stick of it for a grease gun was $4 and change, oughta last forever.

I noticed some folks were asking why I didn't remove the freewheel.....well, turns out I misspoke. It's apparently not a freewheel. It's a 7speed 13-28 cassette. The hub is labled Exage but i've been browsing Sheldon Brown's website off an on this morning - it has the characteristic bulge on the cassette side that gives it away. I guess that could be good news or bad news?

Alas, I need cone wrenches now - taking the cones off without is one thing but getting them on and properly adjusted, quite another.

So, cone nuts, 2 chain whips since it's apparently a Uniglide cassette per Sheldon's site, lessee whadday I need for the crankset/BB (refer image below)?

I got a cheap chain tool at WM, no great shakes but it'll do. More wire brushes. Mothers mag polish, 2000 grit sandpaper. I'm sure I can get a buffing wheel to put on my drill (to polish the crankset). Any REALLY good reason I should keep the dork disc btw?

Any other specialty tools I should look for, now be the time to let me know
