I have only rebuilt Suntour and Shimano freewheels so I can not comment on the Regina.... The pawls are removable on these, and are held in by a small pin. Sometimes the spring is broken and needs to be replaced, and that's when I take the pawls off. The springs and pawls are no longer available so you need to use parts from another freewheel. I always keep old freewheels for this purpose.

Is that troublesome design completely out of the market? Are Sachs/Maillard freewheels designed that way, or like the one in the pictures?
