Here is the final update to this post. This is the maintenance I did:
1. Cleaned and repacked the front hub bearings
2. Cleaned the rear hub replaced/repacked front bearings
3. Removed the freehub cleaned it off and re-oiled it
3. Cleaned the cassette
4. Replaced the chain

Yestered I got my first chance to ride it now that all of the maintenance was done. I went for an 11 mile ride with some smaller hills but most flat area. I found that the bike worked flawlessly minus one thing. I found that the 11tooth cog would skip once in a while. Now being that I typically ride only in that gear it isn't surprising that that gear would be significantly more worn that the rest of the cassette. So, for now I will ride in the next gear up (13tooth cog I think) until I buy my new bike in a few months. Thanks for all the help on this one guys I really appreciate it.
