And for the record what was wrong with it that you wanted to take it apart to this degree?

If the freewheel portion is a bit gritty you can flush it out and then shoot some oil into the freewheel portion. Then put it back on the hub and use some grease in the bearing cup and call it all good.

The hub doesn't look like it's got a lot of time on it. The bearing cup looks nearly new and the cog teeth are in great shape. Unless there was something wrong with it the freewheel portion will respond to some TLC of flushing out the old grunge and getting some oil into the bearings and pawls in a great manner.
