Bikes: 1961 Ideor, 1966 Perfekt 3 Speed AB Hub, 1994 Bridgestone MB-6, 2006 Airnimal Joey, 2009 Thorn Sherpa, 2013 Thorn Nomad MkII, 2015 VO Pass Hunter, 2017 Lynskey Backroad, 2017 Raleigh Gran Prix, 1980s Bianchi Mixte on a trainer. Others are now gone.

I thought that bike had an Atom heliomatic? If so, you might want to reconsider keeping the rear hub. But if you do have the Suzue you cited, they should be good with a bit of grease.

A friend of mine had a Trek touring bike of that vintage, possibly a 728 (until it was stolen) and he commented that it took a 3/16 allen wrench to adjust the seatpost, not metric.
