Good suggestion. Thank you. On this bike I'm doing what I know how to do (bottom bracket, front hub, wheel truing, chain), getting help from a friend on what is completely alien to me (Bendix coaster brake), and asking questions/researching on the parts I've done once or twice (like the headset). I'm in the learning process and a '58 Schwinn is a good bike to tinker with. I pulled the headset apart once, but obviously did something wrong while reassembling it. Guess I'll pull it apart again, after reading the Sheldon Brown article.
