My freewheel phil hub was 1st generation, a stainless steel tube,
with aluminum spoke flanges.
axle was a pressed in assembly.. never needed service, so It got none.
48 spoke, so 1 broken spoke left 47 spares.
the threads for the freewheel were in stainless steel.. ,
Borrowed a big adjustable wrench, removed the freewheel ,
replaced the spoke, a few days later..
all I bring is the freewheel remover.
